JFQA Special Issue

Performance Measurement

The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis announces a Special Issue devoted to Performance Measurement. The analysis of investment performance has been a central concern of research in financial economics dating back to the pioneering work of Alfred Cowles in 1933. Today's explosive growth of mutual funds and other types of managed accounts adds to the considerable depth of research in this field.

The JFQA Special Issue will concentrate on, but not be limited to, the theory of performance measurement, empirical methodology, empirical studies of the performance of mutual funds and other forms of managed accounts, and the relationship of performance to the compensation and incentives of money managers.

We plan to include a comprehensive bibliography on this subject. If you would like to see a preliminary version of this bibliography, check here.
