The Journal of International Trade and Economic Development (JITED) is a peer-reviewed journal, focuses on international economics, economic development and, more importantly, the interface between trade and development. The links between trade and development economics are critical at a time when both fluctuating commodity prices and trade liberalisation and agreements can radically affect the economies of developing countries.

JITED is designed to meet the needs of international and development economists, economic historians, applied economists and policy makers. The international experts who make up the journal's Editorial Board encourage contributions from economists world-wide.

JITED covers:

• theoretical and applied issues in international and development economics
• econometric applications of trade and/or development issues based on sound theoretical economic models or testing fundamental economic hypotheses
• models of structural change
• trade and development issues of economies in Eastern Europe, Asia and the Pacific area
• papers on specific topics
• review articles on important branches of the literature
