jfi-literature-positioning

Use when working on a Journal of Financial Intermediation manuscript to stake the contribution against the banking and financial-intermediation frontier — name the closest intermediation papers and the precise mechanism gap you fill. It positions; it does not write a standalone survey.

# Literature Positioning (jfi-literature-positioning)

## When to trigger

- Writing or revising the introduction and related-work section for a JFI paper
- A referee said the contribution relative to existing intermediation work is unclear

## The JFI positioning bar

JFI readers are **banking and financial-intermediation specialists**. Position the paper against the
intermediation frontier — relationship lending and monitoring, liquidity transformation and runs, bank
capital and regulation, credit supply and the lending channel, information asymmetry and screening,
financial-contracting and security design — not against generic finance. Name the **two to four closest
papers** and state the **specific mechanism or margin** you add, change, or overturn.
