jfi-contribution-framingUse when framing the contribution of a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) paper around what it teaches about intermediation — the institution, the friction, the mechanism, and the economic consequence — so it clears the desk screen and reads as banking, not generic finance. It frames; it does
jfi-data-analysisUse when planning or stress-testing the analysis behind a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) paper — bank/loan-level panel work, demand-absorbing specifications, and the robustness battery for empirics, or numerical examples and calibrated illustrations for theory. It guides the analysis plan
jfi-identification-strategyUse when auditing the core analytical engine of a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) paper — for empirics, the causal design that separates credit supply from demand in banking data; for theory, the assumptions, equilibrium discipline, and proof exposition. It pressure-tests the design; it do
jfi-literature-positioningUse 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.
jfi-rebuttalUse when planning an R&R response letter for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) — single-blind review where referees know you, often a small number of expert reports, a narrow appeal path, and pushback centered on the intermediation channel. It structures the response; it does not fabrica
jfi-replication-and-data-policyUse when preparing the research-data materials a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) submission expects under Elsevier Option C — deposited, cited, and linked research data where possible; an explanation where sharing is impossible; a Data Statement; [dataset]-tagged references; and a credible
jfi-review-processUse when navigating the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) editorial process — the active desk-rejection policy, single-anonymized (single-blind) review with at least one expert referee when sent out, the tightly limited appeal path, and the option to choose the Managing Editor. It sets expec
jfi-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) via Editorial Manager — the US$500 non-refundable new-submission fee, the system-built review PDF, a <=250-word abstract, 1-7 English keywords, optional Highlights and SSRN preprint, Option C data l
jfi-tables-figuresUse when designing the exhibits for a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) paper — banking-literate tables and figures with explicit sample construction, institution definitions, event timing, fixed-effect progressions that display demand absorption, and self-contained notes. It designs exhibit
jfi-topic-selectionUse 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 o
jfi-workflowUse when routing a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscript through its lifecycle — given where you are in the banking/intermediation paper pipeline, it names the next jfi-* skill to invoke and separates the theory-led path from the empirics-led path. It coordinates; it does not draft co
jfi-writing-styleUse when revising a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscript for the journal's house conventions — numbered sections, author–date Elsevier referencing, a concise stand-alone abstract, specialist intermediation vocabulary, and prose that explains the mechanism before the specifications.
