Journal of Mathematical Economics and Finance
Journal of Mathematical Economics and Finance

Aims and scope

The primary scope of our Journal is to provide a forum to exchange ideas in economic theory which expresses economic and financial concepts and laws using formal and well-constructed mathematical reasoning, Mathematical Decision Theory, Game Theory, Functional Analysis, Differential Geometry and so on.

Our Journal covers and publishes original researches and new significant results and methods of Mathematical Economics, Finance, Game Theory and applications, mathematical methods of economics, finance and management, Quantitative Decision theory and Risk Theory. The mathematical form of economic and financial laws appears of fundamental importance to the developments and deep understanding of Economics and Finance themselves. Such a translation in mathematical terms can determine whether an economic or financial intuition shows a coherent and logical meaning. Also, a full rational and mathematical development of economic ideas can itself suggest new economic concepts and deeper economic intuitions.

Journal of Mathematical Economics and Finance is currently indexed in CEEOL and RePEc.
