Journal Guide

Applied Economic Analysis is a peer-reviewed journal on global economic issues and the principles of economic analysis, with a particular focus on quantitative studies. AEA is published in association with the Spanish Asociación Libre de Economía (ALdE).

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy publishes articles that achieve two objectives: to synthesize, integrate and analyze areas of current applied economic research within the mission of the AAEA in order to inform the decision-making and policy-making community; and to stimulate linkages between sub-fields of agricultural and applied economics in a way that illuminates and focuses future research and increases knowledge among researchers about the impact of public policy. The journal’s aim is to reframe the breadth of available technical economic literature to inform future economic research and broader audiences by presenting high quality agricultural and applied economic research in a way that is generally accessible. In each issue of the journal, at least two perspectives articles, specifically solicited by the editors, focus on selected themes of interest, alongside which are published submitted articles. Proposals for themes are encouraged, and should be sent to the editor responsible for perspectives articles.The mission of the AAEA is to enhance the skills, knowledge, and professional contributions of economists who help society solve agricultural, development, environmental, food and consumer, natural resource, regional, rural, and associated applied economics and business problems.

2009 Impact Factor: 0.4045-Year Impact Factor: 0.845Ranking: 187/247 (Economics) 169; 2010 Thomson Reuters, 2009 Journal Citation Reports 174;Applied Economics is a peer-reviewed journal encouraging the application of economic analysis to specific problems in both the public and private sectors. It particularly fosters quantitative studies, the results of which are of use in the practical field, and thus helps to bring economic theory nearer to reality. Contributions which make use of the methods of mathematics, statistics and operations research will be welcomed, provided the conclusions are factual and properly explained.Endorsements8220;As an area, applied economics is about the consideration of topics that are relevant to some group of economic decision makers. Once an important and interesting question has been determined the study needs to contain a discussion of the relevant economic theory and some data analysis using appropriate econometric methods. The journal Applied Economics fills an important place in the economics literature as it publishes more of these topic driven papers than almost all alternatives.8221; Clive Granger, 2003 Nobel Laureate in Economics, Research Professor, University of California, San Diego8220;The great asset of Applied Economics is that it is completely open to any applied area not just the currently fashionable mainstream topics. As a result, when researching some specialised area I often find that the first or crucial paper was published there. 8221;Ron Smith, Professor of Applied Economics, Birkbeck College, University of London.8220;Applied Economics has been publishing solid empirical studies across an impressively broad range of issues for four decades. It fills a unique niche in the research literature for the applied economist. Many happy returns of the day!8221;David Peel, Professor of Economics, University of Lancaster.

Applied Economics Letters is a companion journal to Applied Economics and Applied Financial Economics. It publishes short accounts of new original research and encourages discussion of papers previously published in its two companion journals. Letters are reviewed by the Editor, a member of the Editorial Board or another suitable authority. They are generally applied in nature, but may include discussion of method and theoretical formulation. In a change to the format of the Applied Financial Series of journals, from 2009 Applied Financial Economics Letters will be incorporated into its sister journal Applied Economics Letters.

Applied Economics Quarterly is an international journal publishing applied research with strong relevance for economic policy. Contributions to all arenas of economic policy are invited; in particular, growth, labor, finance and industrial organization. The journal´s goal is to enhance economic policy-making by providing a forum for innovative and rigorous research.
