Aims and scope

South Asian Journal of Economics and Finance publishes original and peer-reviewed theoretical and empirical research in the field of economics. Its focus is on the examination and analysis of the interaction between economic activity, individuals, and communities. The journal focuses on economic activities and examines how social and ethical norms influence the behavior of economic agents. It is inescapably normative and focuses on needs, rather than wants or preferences, and considers the wellbeing of individuals in communities: it accepts the possibility of a common good rather than conceiving of communities as mere aggregates of individual preferences and the problems of economics as coordinating those preferences.

Therefore, contributions are invited which analyses and discuss well-being, welfare, the nature of the good society, governance and social policy, social and economic justice, social and individual economic motivation, and the associated normative and ethical implications of these as they express themselves in, for example, issues concerning the environment, labor, and work, education, the role of families and women, inequality and poverty, health and human development.

Further, the South Asian Journal of Economics and Finance covers all aspects of the key research areas of bank behavior and performance, merger and acquisition activity, risk management, and financial crisis. Within the sphere of finance research, an understanding of how corporations act in financing their activities, managing their risk, and their interactions with stakeholders is crucial.
