Aims and Scope

Australian Finance & Banking Review (AFBR) is an international, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal for banking & finance academics. AFBR aims to publish high-quality, original academic works that research and analyze issues related to finance and banking. AFBR's goals are to publish scholarly contributions that will be effectively important and advance both academic and practitioners' understanding within the spectrum of contemporary and emerging finance and banking issues. Moreover, AFBR encourages academics and researchers to submit manuscripts that will raise a new question or pose old ones in a pathbreaking way and research papers that test theories in specialized ways or document interesting phenomena that are likely to stimulate new research in the discipline of finance and banking. AFBR aims to take the leading role by not only covering the conceptual and empirical side of financial decision-making but also the influences of behavioral attributes of the decision-makers on the structure of the finance and banking system. The initiative is the result of close cooperation between "CRIBFB" and "Australian Finance & Banking Society [Affiliated Societies]".
