- Before submitting, to understand how JBF handles a manuscript
jbf-rebuttal.| Pattern | Why it gets desked |
|---|---|
| Generic asset-pricing or macro paper with no intermediation content | scope mismatch with a bank/markets/regulation journal |
| Causal regulation claim with no identification design | referees would reject; the editor saves everyone the round |
| Identity leakage (acknowledgements, metadata, "our earlier JBF paper") | breaks double anonymization; administrative bounce |
| Survey-length introduction with no stated contribution | signals the contribution is not yet formed |
Reports at this venue typically work through: scope fit; the contribution delta against the intermediation literature; identification (endogenous regulation, omitted bank risk, clustering choices); data construction (merger handling, vintages, consolidation filters); robustness breadth; and whether policy implications stay inside the identified margin. Pre-empt each in the manuscript and the desk-to-decision path shortens.
