Abstract

Guest editorial Guest editorial 1. Interdisciplinary finance Introduction As a discipline, finance largely emerged from economics, and in terms of incorporating ideas, knowledge and theories from disciplines outside of finance, economics remains a key source of interdisciplinary knowledge. One of the first finance research strands to incorporate knowledge from disciplines outside of economics was behavioural finance. Since 1985 and the publication of DeBont and Thaler’s article on stock market over-reaction, the behavioural finance literature, which draws heavily from the psychology discipline, has grown substantially (Branch, 2014). The flow of ideas between disciplines is critical to developing new insights and processes. In reviewing the literature on interdisciplinary research, Rafols et al. note that it is credited for to scientific breakthroughs, addressing social issues, fostering innovation and generating new research avenues, while also revitalizing disciplines. Yet despite the clear evidence in favour of interdisciplinary research, Rafols et al. show that top-tier business and management journals (including finance) are systematically biased against interdisciplinary research in the favour of mono-disciplinary research. Pieters and Baumgartner (2002) examine citation flows between top-tier economics journals and top-tier journals in nine other business and social disciplines including finance, management, marketing, operations research, political science, psychology and sociology.
