Journal of Applied Corporate Finance (JACF)

The Journal of Applied Corporate Finance has served as an important forum for research and dialogue in corporate finance since its launch in 1988. Published quarterly by Wiley-Blackwell, the journal disseminates high-quality research focused on the practical side of corporate finance. Its scope covers key areas such as risk management, capital structure decisions, corporate governance, valuation techniques, dividend policy, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic financial management. Unlike many purely theoretical journals, it also includes roundtable discussions, viewpoint essays, and practitioner contributions, offering perspectives from seasoned corporate leaders and experienced academics alike. The aim is to help bridge the divide between academic finance theories and real-world corporate financial practice by presenting actionable insights grounded in rigorous analysis. Over the decades, it has featured influential articles that shape thinking about how firms make financial decisions, optimize value, and respond to market challenges. The journal’s editorial policy emphasizes relevance to corporate decision-making, rigorous methodology, and clarity of communication. It attracts submissions from researchers, financial executives, and consultants worldwide. Although publication ceased at the end of 2025, the journal’s archive remains a valuable resource for finance professionals and scholars interested in the evolution of applied corporate finance knowledge.
