This bibliography contains articles that deal with research on finance as an academic discipline. In other words, these articles do not deal with the subject of finance itself, but rather the issues that arise when academic finance is one's profession. The classifications are quite arbitrary, but should serve to help the user identify articles on certain general topics. There is a large body of research of this type in economics that can be particularly useful to us in finance, but with just a few exceptions I have not cited this literature.
Some other good sites for budding academics in finance (as well as veterans) are the Ohio State finance site list and www.financeprofessor.com.
