Aims & Scope
Review of Middle East Economics and Finance is a peer-reviewed journal addressing applied original research in the fields of economics and finance pertaining to the Middle East and North Africa region, including Turkey and Iran. Although RMEEF focuses on the region of the Middle East and North Africa, the journal welcomes submissions that treat the economics of neighboring countries and/or the relationship and interactions between those economies and the MENA region. Topic areas, although not exhaustive, encompass:
- Monetary and fiscal policies
- Political economy
- Poverty and income distribution
- Labor and welfare economics
- International trade and finance
- Financial markets and institutions
- Business cycles, financial instability and crisis
Strong emphasis is placed on empirically based papers. The journal includes a review section of books dealing with the above topics. Review of Middle East Economics and Finance is sponsored by the Lebanese American University. From 2002 to 2005 (Volumes 1 – 3), the journal was published by Taylor & Francis. The journal’s first volume with The Berkeley Electronic Press will appear in 2007.
