Introduction The journal has three main sections. They are: Policy Debates and Controversies This section contains highly policy relevant articles that are of general interest to economists. We strive to obtain opposing views on current topics. Recent Trends in Economic Research This section contains research articles from all fields of economics, similar to those published in other general interest economics journals, such as the American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Economic Journal, or the Economic Record. These articles are not necessarily easily accessible to non-academic economists. We expect authors to provide the main insights in a non-technical introduction and in the conclusions. Comments and Discussions of Past and Present Contributions to Economics This section has two aims. On the one hand it is a platform to critically discuss recent contributions to the economic literature. This section contains contributions that revalidate econometric articles and/or discuss the importance of recent findings in economics. On the other hand, it contains a critical appreciation of classic contributions to the economic literature. We invite original authors as well as scholars that work in the field to review the importance of classic contributions to modern economics.
