The Journal of Economic Development and Business Policy presents original, peer-reviewed research that is clearly applicable to business economics in the areas of development and policy. Development and policy are defined in the broadest terms, and the Journal's scope includes articles focused on international, national and local levels. Articles may be empirical or theoretical in nature; however, they must address current, timely topics of interest to academics and practitioners.

Our motivation for establishing this publication is that there are few journals specializing in business and economic development at every level: local, national and international. The Journal's goal is to publish a balance of articles in each area, stressing common threads and relationships across each area of development. The Journal does not focus on the "macro" or "micro" sides of economic development. The Journal aims to be "inter-disciplinary" in the sense that it encourages submissions from all sub-fields of economics (including, but not limited to labor, health, international, finance, business strategy and industrial organization) so long as the paper presents clear policy implications for promoting a stronger and more viable economy.
