《金融經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)雜志》在1989年開始了一個包含應(yīng)用論文和案例研究的新章節(jié)。本節(jié)為實際案例、事件或?qū)嵺`的學(xué)術(shù)研究提供了高質(zhì)量的專業(yè)渠道。這類現(xiàn)象提供了豐富的數(shù)據(jù)來源，說明或挑戰(zhàn)公認(rèn)的理論，并導(dǎo)致對世界的新見解。這些研究目前很少有專業(yè)的渠道，金融經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)雜志在這一部分起到了鼓勵這類工作的主導(dǎo)作用。應(yīng)用程序和案例研究論文在形式、范圍和內(nèi)容上往往不同，而且更具推測性。這些論文處理的問題往往比平常更不可量化，更具描述性和規(guī)范性。強(qiáng)調(diào)提出新問題或以創(chuàng)新的方式提出舊問題的論文，以及以專門的方式測試?yán)碚摶蛴涗浛赡艽碳ば卵芯康挠腥がF(xiàn)象的論文。

The Journal of Financial Economics began a new section containing applied papers and case studies in 1989. This section provides a high-quality professional outlet for scholarly studies of actual cases, events or practice. Such phenomena provide a rich source of data that illustrate or challenge accepted theory and lead to new insights about the world. These studies currently have few professional outlets, and with this section The Journal of Financial Economics takes a leading role in encouraging such work. Applications and case study papers are often different in form, scope and content and can be more conjectural. The papers deal with issues that are often less quantifiable, more descriptive and normative than usual. Papers that raise a new question or pose an old one in an innovative way and papers that test theories in specialized ways or document interesting phenomena which are likely to stimulate new research are emphasized.
