Geographic diversity in academic finance editorial boards-A discussion

Finance, and finance research, is a globalised enterprise. We examine whether or not the representation of editors at leading finance journals is equally globalised. Using data on the affiliation of editorial board members of journals ranked by the ABS as being 4*, 4 and 3 we provide a first mapping of (editorial) power, the geographic diversity of individual journals, and surface the most powerful institutions and countries.
