Message from the Managing Editors

To our great regret, we did not achieve our goal to continue to publish Credit and Capital Markets as an outlet for high-quality research on banking, financial markets and monetary policy. In Europe, and particularly in Germany, career concerns force most researchers to focus on a very small number of journals. Thus, we could not create enough intake of original research papers of a good quality. For this reason, and due to several other hurdles about bureaucracy and financing, we will terminate our engagement for the journal at the end of this year. Thus, volume 57 (2024) will be the last volume of Credit and Capital Markets. We are very sad that we thereby must conclude such a long and valuable tradition.

Please note that the past volumes of Credit and Capital Markets will remain available, not only in paper but also digitally, thus the respective knowledge is not lost for future research and application.

We want to thank you for your interest in the journal.

Kind regards,

Hans-Peter Burghof
