Research in International Business and Finance

Description:

---

RIBAF has successfully gone through the production of Seventeen Research Volumes. As an annual academic research volume publication it has explored and provided insight on various, economic, international business and finance topics. At this juncture, it is planned that RIBAF will take on a new role. RIBAF will assume an academic journal format commencing with Volume 18 in 2004. The focus of the new journal format will be to present academic and applied research germane to the International Business and Finance arena. The editors encourage the submission of high quality papers that are concerned with the theoretical or empirical aspects of the following broadly defined topics: (1) International economics, finance and accounting. (2) Business dynamics and strategy in the multinational firm. (3) The public policy debate as it affects international organizations and multilateral relationships. (4) Foreign direct investment and the international investment decision of the firm. (5) Financial market integration, disintermediation and financial system evolution. (6) Country risk and political risk assessment and management. The articles accepted for publication will be rigorously peer reviewed prior to acceptance and publication. Author acceptance will be driven only by the quality of the research submitted. Specific issues and volumes of the journal will be devoted to defined subjects within the realm of international business and finance. RIBAF aims to provide an even broader distribution of the ideas presented through the journal format, than that achieved by the research volume format, and therefore to create more visibility for its authors.
