Mathematical Finance  seeks to publish original research articles focused on the development and application of novel mathematical and statistical methods for the analysis of financial problems. 

Mathematical Finance aims to serve as a forum for mathematical scientists, financial practitioners and financial economists. Papers should be written in a style accessible to this broad readership. Authors of theoretical papers should describe the motivation and description of the main results and their relevance to finance. Authors of papers focused on applications should present their work in a style accessible to readers who may have less acquaintance with the specific application addressed. Submissions should be presented in a mathematically rigorous style and will be evaluated according to their methodological novelty and their contribution to financial modelling. The suitability of a submission will hinge on the novelty of its approach and the resulting financial insights, rather than its level of mathematical sophistication. Innovative contributions addressing fundamental research questions are highly encouraged. Doctoral students are encouraged to submit contributions to the journal.

The journal welcomes contributions on new statistical methods for the analysis of financial problems. Empirical results will be appropriate to the extent that they illustrate a statistical technique, validate a model or provide insight into a financial problem. Papers whose main contribution rests on empirical results derived with standard approaches will not be considered.

The journal also welcome contributions focused on the development and analysis of novel computational methods relevant to applications in finance. The use of numerical experiments is encouraged, if accompanied by a rigorous analysis in support of theoretical developments. Routine applications of computational methods to financial data will not be considered.
