International Economic Journal

Aims & Scope

International Economic Journal is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal devoted to publishing high-quality papers and sharing original economics research worldwide.

We invite theoretical and empirical papers in the broadly-defined development and international economics areas.

Papers in other sub-disciplines of economics (e.g., labor, public, money, macro, industrial organizations, health, environment and history) are also welcome if they contain international or cross-national dimensions in their scope and/or implications.

In order to be considered for publication, submitted manuscripts have to be based on solid analytical economic methodologies.
