The Journal of Economic Issues is published by the Association of Evolutionary Economics, an international organization of scholars unified in the beliefs that economy is an instituted process and that social progress requires intelligent institutional adjustment. It seeks to promote an economics that is useful for real world problem-solving. The Journal of Economic Issuesis primarily interested in manuscripts that explain economic phenomena through a description and analysis of the formal and informal rules that regulate the use of natural resources and technology, define the distribution of economic power between individuals and groups, and delimit the scope of human agency. A variety of analytical approaches, including those borrowed from disciplines such as history, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, systems theory, biology and evolutionary science, network theory, sociology, law, geography, and neuroscience, are acceptable, so long as the institutional environment (as opposed to the optimizing agent) constitutes the main object of inquiry.
The Journal of Economic Issues also places a high priority on contributions that examine the political economy of food, healthcare, energy, telecommunications, transportation, education, or recreation provisioning. Papers that bring institutional perspectives to the problems of developing and transitional economies are welcome. Additionally, we seek papers that investigate issues related to the social control of business and finance. Policy-oriented contributions on a wide array of topics, including macroeconomics, property rights, labor markets, trade and globalization, and the environment, also fall within the aims and scope of the Journal of Economic Issues. Finally, the Journal of Economic Issues publishes theoretical and interpretative papers that endeavor to clarify the nature of institutions, the process of institutional change, and the history of institutional thought.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
