Journal overview

Economic Systems Research is a double anonymized peer-reviewed scientific journal that is dedicated to disseminating knowledge on interindustry economic systems, structures and processes. This includes the interaction of economies with the natural environment, their use of natural and human resources and their change across time and space. The journal emphasises research that convincingly demonstrates immediate relevance and practical solutions to contemporary social, economic and environmental problems.

Economic Systems Research is the official journal of the International Input-Output Association (IIOA) and is designed to facilitate the cross-cultural exchange of knowledge. As such, it is non-partisan, factual and problem-oriented. Topics within the purview of the journal are those with content that are inherently considered intersectoral issues. Any social, economic, and engineering topics that use multisectoral databases constitute relevant subject matter. This includes, but is not limited to, research that employs linear and non-linear multisectoral models of economic trade, structure, change and development; focuses on social and cultural issues, like inequality; that describes ecosystems and the treatment of depletable resources; addresses environmental and strategic questions; and measures the nature of major disruptions and disasters. The journal also publishes descriptions of novel interindustry databases, as well as of new and significant algorithms used to compile such databases, as well as algorithms that enable new, insightful analyses of such databases. The journal welcomes reviews of literature within its scope as well as special issues on related emerging topics. A prerequisite for publication is the inclusion of a detailed, concrete and convincing set of conclusions, demonstrating the immediate applicability and usefulness of the research findings for real-world practice. Special issues must be pre-approved by the journal’s Editor(s) prior to submission.
