The Economic Journal is among the foremost of the learned journals in economics, and is invaluable to anyone with an active interest in economic issues. It is a key source for professional economists in higher education, business, government service and the financial sector, and represents unbeatable value for those who want to keep abreast in current thinking in economics.
The Economic Journal is divided into three types of issue:
Articles- More than forty high-quality refereed articles are published each year offering some of the best new work in theoretical, applied and empirical research from across the entire field of economics.
Features- Symposia, special articles and regular features on data and technology covering topical, policy-relevant questions in contemporary economics. Whilst maintaining high academic standards the symposia and special articles are accessible to a wide readership.
Extensive Book Reviews- by specialist economists.
Conference Papers- The Annual Conference issue is published in March each year and includes the best papers presented at the Annual Royal Economic Society Conference. |

The policy of the Editors is to publish the best papers in economics from any field, be they theoretical, applied or empirical. To be acceptable for publication they should make a substantial contribution to the subject, be technically well crafted and be of broad interest to economists at large. No paper will be rejected solely on the grounds of being too technical, or too applied.
To assist the general reader the Editors require that authors take care to motivate their work and to communicate their contribution in a clear manner. Please note that, in general, articles should not exceed 7,500 words. Overlong papers will be returned without consideration.
Guide to preparing manuscripts for submission
1. When setting out mathematical equations, contributors are asked to conform to the conventions adopted in recent articles published in The Economic Journal. The full mathematical workings necessary for justifying each step of the argument should accompany all articles of a mathematical character, in order to assist the referee. These workings will not be published.
2. Statistical tables should be clearly headed and the reader should be able to understand the meaning of each row or column without hunting in the text for explanations of symbols, etc. Units of measurement, base-dates for index numbers, geographical area covered and sources should be clearly stated. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the data and for checking their proofs; whenever they feel that the referee would have difficulty in testing the derivation of their statistics, they should provide supplementary notes on the methods used. These will not be published.
3. Diagrams should be clearly drawn and accompanied by the basic statistics that were required for the preparation; the axes must be clearly labelled; the reader must be able to understand the diagrams without hunting in the text for explanations.
4. Bibliographical references should be carefully checked, and complete in respect of the year and the place of publication. If a bibliographical list is given, it should follow the style used in the current issue of The Economic Journal.
Comments on Published Articles
The Economic Journal is willing to publish comments of substance. Anyone wanting to submit comments on a Journal article is asked to start by sending a copy to the author, inviting him/her to send the commentator his/her observations, and in particular to explain any points on which the commentator has misunderstood what the author was saying. The commentator is asked to allow the author a reasonable time to reply before sending anything to the editors, and to enclose any reply which he/she may have received from the author. If the editors accept the Comment for publication, they will send one copy to the original author and give him/her an opportunity to submit a short Reply which will be considered for publication in the same issue of the Journal.
Copyright Assignment Form
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the Royal Economic Society. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned).
