Aims & Scope

Scope of the Journal of International Economics

The Journal of International Economics is a premier, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of global economic relationships. It provides a critical platform for publishing high-quality research on all aspects of international economics. The journal welcomes theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented contributions that explore international trade, international finance, global investment, exchange rates, trade policy, and open economy macroeconomics.

Our scope encompasses both the microeconomic and macroeconomic dimensions of international economics, aiming to bridge gaps between theory and real-world applications. The Journal of International Economics particularly encourages studies that offer new insights into the dynamics of globalization, cross-border economic interactions, and their implications for both developed and developing economies.

Key Areas of Interest Include:

• International Trade and Commercial Policy: Research on trade patterns, trade liberalization, tariffs, quotas, non-tariff barriers, and the impacts of regional and multilateral trade agreements.

• International Finance and Capital Flows: Studies on exchange rate regimes, currency crises, sovereign debt, capital mobility, and the role of international financial institutions.

• Global Investment and Multinational Corporations: Insights into foreign direct investment (FDI), global value chains, outsourcing, and the economic strategies of multinational enterprises.

• Development and Emerging Markets: Analysis of how international economic policies and global economic forces affect developing countries and transition economies.

• Global Supply Chains and Technological Change: Studies on how globalization, digital transformation, and technological innovation are reshaping international production networks.

The Journal of International Economics serves an international audience of economists, policymakers, business leaders, and academic researchers. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the highest standards of scholarly excellence and relevance.

We encourage interdisciplinary approaches that combine economics with insights from political science, international relations, law, and business studies. The journal values methodological diversity, including quantitative modeling, econometrics, case studies, and comparative analysis.
