Beschreibung:
The field of academic finance has grown and evolved in the 47 years since the Journalof Financial Economics (JFE) began publishing papers. This paper examines detailed dataon the 3,003 papers written by 3,358 different authors published in the JFE over the period1974–2020. Advances in computing power and electronic communication have driventrends toward more empirical work, more coauthorship, and more complex papers. Theset of authors, referees, and editors has also evolved as the field spans a much larger geographicfootprint and as women have come to play a larger role in all aspects of academicfinance. Growth in the demand for finance faculty has driven up faculty compensation andthe demand for scarce journal space.Also see the internet appendix for additional data here: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3722314
