Articles

Journal of Economic Insights considers and publishes the following types of articles:

  1. Empirical Articles – Structured according to the IMRAD format and presenting original quantitative or qualitative research findings. Data sources may include economic indicators, financial reports, surveys, econometric modeling, or statistical databases. Authors must provide original interpretation and policy implications of their findings.

  2. Theoretical Articles – These develop, refine, or challenge economic theories and models. They may include conceptual analyses, new theoretical frameworks, or mathematical derivations that advance understanding of economic systems, decision-making processes, or market behavior.

  3. Review Articles – Comprehensive overviews of a specific economic topic, summarizing existing studies, evaluating methodologies, identifying research gaps, and suggesting directions for future inquiry. These are especially encouraged for rapidly evolving areas such as behavioral economics, digital finance, and sustainable development.

  4. Case Studies – Detailed examinations of economic phenomena, business strategies, market trends, or policy implementations in specific countries or sectors. These articles focus on practical applications and real-world economic implications.
