Every paper that passes the editors’ desk goes to two external referees. Editors decide on the evidence of the reports, without knowing who the author is, and authors are never told who refereed them.

Papers of 4,000 to 6,000 words with a defensible empirical or analytical basis, in seven sections across economics: applied micro, development and labour; political economy and public policy; macroeconomics; finance; econometrics and data science; trade, law and institutions; energy, environment and digital infrastructure.
