Report of the Editor of The Journal of Finance for the Year 2007

摘要

This is my first full year as editor. Given that The Journal of Finance operates with a backlog of over 1 year, none of the papers yet in print have been handled by me. Hence, all of the success of the Journal this year is due to the outgoing Editor, Rob Stambaugh. One small change that I have implemented is to change the reporting year to a calendar year-previously we used a July year end.
