The Journal of International Money and Finance

Since its launch in 1982, Journal of International Money and Finance has built up a solid reputation as a high quality scholarly journal devoted to theoretical and empirical research in the fields of international monetary economics, international finance, and the rapidly developing overlap area between the two. CRIF's affiliation with JIMF has primarily been established through the efforts of CRIF Director, James R. Lothian, and CRIF Member, Cornelia McCarthy. Lothian and McCarthy serve as Editor and Associate Editor for JIMF.

In addition to publishing six regular issues per year, JIMF has sponsored a series of conferences in the United States and abroad on selected topics in the areas of international finance and international monetary economics. These conferences all resulted in refereed special issues of the Journal.
