Editorial Policy

EDITORIAL POLICY

It is the policy of Economic Issues to publish articles on a wide range of subjects and issues of current economic debate.

Subject to professional standards being maintained, the journal will allow authors considerable freedom in how they treat their subjects. Papers are particularly encouraged, however, which contribute to public discussion and which are applicable to the practical concerns of decision-makers.

Papers which provide an accessible survey of a field of economic debate are also actively encouraged.

The Editorial Board especially welcomes papers that:

Explain current research ideas and findings from a broader economic perspective.
Approach and present issues in a way that renders them appropriate for classroom and student use.
Help to keep business, government and economics in general aware of developments in economics thinking.
Highlight and put in historical perspective contemporary issues and debates.
Emphasise the implications of theory and empirical evidence for economic policy and business practice.
Question conventional wisdom and adopt a broad (inter-disciplinary), institutional and/or evolutionary approach to economic ideas.
Recognise and deal with the European dimension, provide comparative studies and take account of the interdependence of modern economies.
Raise issue and develop approaches that relate to the teaching of economics in particular and economics education in general.
