Applied Economics as a field must deal directly with current issues and affairs that affect both the global economy and economic agents, namely, firms, consumers, governmental and non-governmental organisations. As such, the journal’s aim is to provide original research on empirical economics and applied theory, in any of its fields. Papers based on a meaningful and well-motivated research problem that make a concrete contribution to the literature are encouraged, but special consideration would be made to new research dealing with topics related to new technologies and applied economic methods with a focus on gender differences, sustainability impact and social cohesion, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Authors are required to present their scientific findings in a clear manner and contextualize them within the broad academic debate around the subject explored within the paper.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized. The primary criteria for selecting papers are quality and importance for the field.

All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
