jfi-topic-selection
Use when working on Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscripts to test whether the paper is centrally about banking and financial intermediation — whether an intermediary mechanism is load-bearing, how it differs from a Journal of Banking and Finance fit, and whether to lead with theory or empirics — before investing in the draft.

# Topic Selection (jfi-topic-selection)
## When to trigger
- Deciding whether a project fits the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) at all
- Choosing whether the paper's spine is a model (theory) or an empirical design
## The JFI fit bar
JFI is an Elsevier journal on **banking, financial intermediation, and the economics of financial
institutions and markets**, publishing **both theory and empirics**. The decisive question is: **is an
intermediary or financial-institution mechanism first-order?** Strong fits put banks, lenders, dealers,
insurers, or other intermediaries — and the frictions they resolve or create (information asymmetry,
monitoring, liquidity transformation, capital and regulation, relationship lending) — at the center.
