Papers across the entire field of economics, including econometrics, economic history, and political economy will be considered for publication. Both theoretical and empirical manuscripts are welcome. Occasionally, it publishes Special issues or topical sections in regular issues to emphasize new research directions. This journal also publishes selected book reviews. In addition, specially invited papers by internationally reputed economists are featured. Manuscripts are judged solely on the basis of quality of their content. It adopts a double-blind peer-review process. The Editor and/or Co-editors send submitted papers to the referees only after an initial scrutiny.
