The International Journal of Financial Studies publishes research on financial markets, corporate finance, and financial economics. Recent articles focus on the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on financial performance and risk, the dynamics of financial volatility and risk management, and the relationship between financial development and economic outcomes. The journal also explores the role of digitalization, artificial intelligence, and information asymmetry in financial decision-making and fraud detection, as well as the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy and the effects of financial liberalization.
