Sharpens finance research questions and contributions tailored to the institutional standards of the Journal of Financial Research (《金融研究》).

The Journal of Financial Research Topic Selection skill helps academic researchers transform raw financial datasets into rigorous research questions suitable for top-tier Chinese finance journals like 《金融研究》. It provides a structured three-step framework that anchors core financial transmission mechanisms (credit, risk-taking, balance sheet, information), leverages unique Chinese institutional and regulatory settings, and clearly defines novel academic contributions (new mechanisms, boundaries, or subjects) to ensure publishable and reviewer-ready positioning.

01Three-step methodology to upgrade empirical findings into core financial research questions
02Framework to articulate incremental contributions across mechanisms, boundaries, and economic agents
