Although the Journal of Urban Economics does not follow a multidisciplinary approach, articles by non-economists are also published if they are relevant to economics and meet the requirements of the journal. Short articles are also published if their content falls within the scope of the journal and contains new information, comments on existing work or suggestions with a theoretical reference.
