# JFQA Topic Selection (jfqa-topic-selection)
Use this skill to test whether a finance question belongs in the **Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA)** before you build the paper and pay the **$350** submission fee (only **$275** refundable if it is not sent to a reviewer).
## What JFQA publishes
JFQA covers **theoretical and empirical** research in financial economics, with a quantitative core:
- **Corporate finance** — capital structure, payout, governance, M&A, investment.
- **Investments / asset pricing** — cross-section of returns, factors, anomalies, portfolio choice.
- **Capital and security markets** — market microstructure, liquidity, price discovery.
- **Financial institutions** — banks, intermediaries, regulation.
- **Quantitative methods** relevant to finance.
