Aims and Scope
The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy (BEJEAP) welcomes submissions that employ microeconomics to analyze issues in business, consumer behavior, and public policy. We aim to be an international forum for scholarship, whether that scholarship considers a general issue, or pertains to a particular country or region, and authors should bear in mind that our readers come from around the world. Potential topics of interest include: the interaction of firms, the functioning of markets, the effects of domestic and international policy, and the design of organizations and institutions. Articles can be in corporate finance, industrial organization, international trade, labor economics, public finance, or other related fields including the economics of cities, education, health, law, or the environment.
Authors should bring to their analysis whatever microeconomic theoretical tools are helpful. We publish both empirical work and applied theory (though not more abstract forms of applied theory), and our aim is to disseminate papers that have practical implications for public policy, business policy, or individual decision making.
Benefits for authors include:
Fast publication: Articles are guaranteed to receive a decision within 10 weeks,
thanks to our Authors & Reviewers' Bank, online submission, web-based software that streamlines the editorial process,
and dedication of our editors. The median decision time is even less: 52 days.
Author as typesetter:
You will never again scour copyedited manuscripts or galleys in search of errors introduced by copyeditors and typesetters.
What you write is exactly what your readers will see.
Quality Rating: Authors no longer need to trade
off submitting to a more prestigious journal at the cost of an increased chance of rejection. We simultaneously consider each
article for four different tiers distinguished by breadth of appeal and overall quality.
Authors &
Reviewers' Bank: Scholars enter a social contract to review other papers in a timely manner so their own papers are reviewed
rapidly. Strong incentives for timely, quality reviews solve the free-rider problem.
Top-caliber reviews:
Reviewers who write especially insightful reviews can be invited by editors to publish them as comments. Reviewers can send
questions to authors by anonymous email, so reviewers are less likely to misunderstand authors, and authors are more likely
to avoid confused writing.
Wide dissemination: Readers worldwide have access to your paper at their
desktops. More than 100,000 scholars receive email notification of new articles.
Widely indexed: in
EconLit, JEL, IBSS, PAIS, RePEc, and Scopus. The full text is crawled and indexed by search engines like Google.
Questions about submissions and journal content may be directed to the editors.
My authoring experience was probably the best to date in terms of speed and efficiency. The quality of the referees was also excellent, as good if not better than anything I've experienced (and that includes the AER, Rand, etcetera).
Mark J. McCabe, Assistant Professor, School of Economics, Georgia Institute of Technology, and contributor to The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy
The speed with which the process was completed is so much better than the standard for more established journals in economics. We can only hope you are successful in breaking the conventional delays that are so harmful to the professional development of young economists. You have demonstrated that quality peer review and editing can be done in economics in as timely a fashion as it is done in many other disciplines.
Jack Ochs, Professor and Chair of Economics, University of Pittsburgh, and contributor to The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis
