Studies in Economics and Econometrics

Journal overview

Aims and scope

Studies in Economics and Econometrics promotes econometric and other empirical economics research, with a focus on the developing world. Its aim is to promote methodological advances in econometrics as well as other innovative empirical approaches, so as to enhance scholarly work on developing countries.

It seeks submissions, with an empirical focus, from any of the subdisciplines of economics, and often receives submissions with macroeconomic, financial-economic or applied micro-economic themes. Submissions must shed light on common trends or behaviours across the developing world, beyond their context-specific application. Submissions relying on existing methodologies must clearly identify their scholarly contribution over and above insights that might flow from replicating a study in a different setting.

All submitted papers undergo rigorous double-anonymized peer review.

The journal is jointly hosted by three entities within Stellenbosch University in South Africa: the Department of Economics, the University of Stellenbosch Business School, and the Bureau for Economic Research. It is fully accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training.
