history

The Journal of International Economics was first published in 1971 by North-Holland Publishing Co. , with Jagdish Bhagwati ( MIT ) as editor-in-chief and John S. Chipman ( University of Minnesota ) and Harry Gordon Johnson ( University of Chicago ) co-editors. The aim of founding the journal was to make the Journal of International Economics the most important publication channel for research in the field of international economics. From its inception until 1982, the magazine initially appeared with four issues in an annual volume, from 1982 to 2001 with two issues in a semi-annual volume and since 2001 with two issues in one volume, which is published every trimester.

Content

The Journal of International Economics is intended to serve as a platform for the publication of theoretical and empirical research in all areas of international economics. These include the structure of international trade , trade policy , international institutions , exchange rates , the macroeconomics of open economies , international finance and international factor mobility.
