Casopis "Ekonomska istraživanja" izrastao je iz casopisa "Gospodarstvo Istre, uslijed njegovog preoblikovanja i proširivanja tematskih podrucja obuhvata. "Gospodarstvo Istre" svojom je tematikom pokrivalo niz znacajnih gospodarskih problema i aktualnosti svojstvenih istarskog regiji u razdoblju od 1988. do 1997. godine.Uslijed sve zapaženije uloge te istaknutijih potreba za proširivanjem tematskih podrucja, casopis "Gospodarstvo Istre" mijenja naziv u "Ekonomska istraživanja" u okviru kojeg sve znacajnije mjesto pocinju zauzimati radovi koji svojom tematikom pokrivaju znanstvene aktualnosti iz šireg okruženja jugoistocne Europe.Prateci rastuci udio stranih autora, casopis proširuje uredništvo i tim recenzenata kojeg danas sacinjava niz strucnjaka iz relevantnih znanstvenih institucija u zemlji i inozemstvu osiguravajuci na taj nacin održanje kvalitete i prepoznatljivosti casopisa u široj znanstvenoj, gospodarskoj te cjelokupnoj društvenoj javnosti.

Economic Systems is a refereed journal for the analysis of causes and consequences of the significant institutional variety prevailing among all developed, developing, emerging, and transition economies, as well as attempts at and proposals for their reform.The journal is open to micro and macro contributions, theoretical as well as empirical, the latter to analyze related topics against the background of country or region-specific experiences. This is to reflect the respective new orientation within the field of comparative economics: decades of development and transition experience in many countries have clearly demonstrated the importance of institutions and institutional change for the functioning of markets and the ways in which policies influence economic activity in general and economic growth in particular. However, we believe that institutional development is only one of the important factors in affecting domestic and global economies.Hence, Economic Systems strongly encourages submissions from all other fields, covering, but not limited to, a variety of aspects of financial and economic systems and development, including private and state banking; goods and services and financial markets; macro and micro policies and their effects; and global trade issues and exchange rate systems in all developed, developing, emerging, and transition economies. We are particularly interested in empirical papers with significant policy implications.

Economic Systems Research is a double blind peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the furtherance of theoretical and factual knowledge about economic systems, structures and processes, and their change through time and space, at the subnational, national and international level. The journal contains sensible, matter-of-fact tools and data for modelling, policy analysis, planning and decision making in large economic environments. It promotes understanding in economic thinking and between theoretical schools of East and West, North and South.Economic Systems Research is non-partisan, factual and problem-oriented. As the official journal of the International Input-Output Association (IIOA), it aims to serve as a vehicle of cross-cultural information and contact. Topics within the purview of the journal include linear and non-linear multisectoral models of structure and structural change and development, ecosystems and the treatment of depletable resources, environmental and strategic questions, life-cycle assessment, databases and databanks, large-scale computational methods and languages. The journal includes reviews of pertinent literature and special issues on new emerging areas of research in its field.Peer Review Policy:All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees (i.e. double-blind peer review).

Economic Theory provides an outlet for research in all areas of economics based on rigorous theoretical reasoning and on topics in mathematics that are supported by the analysis of economic problems. Published articles contribute to the understanding and solution of substantive economic problems. Among the topics addressed in the journal are classical and modern equilibrium theory, cooperative and non-cooperative game theory, macroeconomics, social choice and welfare, uncertainty and information, intertemporal economics (including dynamical systems), public economics, international and developmental economics, financial economics, money and banking, and industrial organization. In addition to original research articles, Economic Theory publishes surveys for particular areas of research that clearly set forth the basic underlying concepts and ideas, the essential technical apparatuses, and the central open questions.Officially cited as: Econ Theory

All researchers are welcome to submit their articles to Economics Letters, and especially young researchers and advanced graduate students are encouraged to submit their articles.The "letter" format consists of concise communications, which are a vehicle to quickly communicate important pieces of new research. For instance, a theorist could submit to Economics Letters a thought-provoking example before the analysis is extended to a general theorem in a fully fledged paper that will go elsewhere. Similarly, an experimentalist or an empirical researcher could submit to Economics Letters some important preliminary results, where perhaps the threshold for robustness, thoroughness or completeness of the analysis is not as high as it would be for a complete paper. Comments or pedagogical notes are not suitable for transmission in this form.The following are important features of the "letter" format:Concise: Contributions are usually limited to 2,000 words (12 manuscript pages), allowing readers to determine their potential interest in a letter very quickly, and to digest a large amount of material in a usable form.Rapid: The fast review process and immediate online publication ensure a brief manuscript turnover time.Efficient: A quick way to stay up-to-date with developments in all areas of economics.Every submission to Economics Letters will be subject to a careful peer-review process.
