Abstract

The purpose of this research is two-fold. First, it provides a valuable resource for finance educators to use for classroom examples, reading assignments, and certainly for discussion as different ethics articles pertain to various topics in any particular finance course. Second, it also identifies the wide variety of possible outlets for ethics research that are available to finance scholars (and those who choose to pursue research in this area). In this study, 23 business-ethics journals were analyzed over a 45-year period (1960-2004). Our data indicate that finance faculty's preferred outlets for business ethics research are the Journal of Business Ethics and Business and Professional Ethics Journal.
