Economics of Transition and Institutional Change

Aims & Scope

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change (ETIC) (formerly: Economics of Transition, EoT) publishes research that investigates: -How institutions affect economic performance, individual well-being, and other social and political outcomes -What determines institutional change -How reforms affect outcomes at the macroeconomic (country or region), intermediate (sector or industry), and microeconomic (firm and organisation) levels.

While the journal will still give attention to the formerly socialist countries, as well as China, East and South-East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, it will also publish research that relates to other regions undergoing reforms and institutional transformation.

ETIC also welcomes submissions from the fields of economic history, institutional and organisational economics, and political economy.

The journal is committed to publishing high-quality research which is grounded in serious economic theory, uses convincing identification strategies, or introduces new data sets.

The journal will also publish special issues focusing on particular themes, and organises Symposia on a regular basis.
