Applied Economics Letters is a companion journal to Applied Economics and Applied Financial Economics. It publishes short accounts of new original research and encourages discussion of papers previously published in its two companion journals. Letters are reviewed by the Editor, a member of the Editorial Board or another suitable authority. They are generally applied in nature, but may include discussion of method and theoretical formulation.

 

In a change to the format of the Applied Financial Series of journals, from 2009 Applied Financial Economics Letters will be incorporated into its sister journal Applied Economics Letters.

 

Rapid Online Publication:

From 2011 Applied Economics Letters will be publishing to an accelerated timescale which offers even faster publication for authors. With our Build Issue service, articles are entered straight into the online issue upon receipt of the corrected proofs and thereby receive page numbers immediately. This new production system is an enhancement of the iFirst method of publication, which it now replaces.

We anticipate that this rapid service will allow research to reach its audience even sooner, without compromising the peer-review process and continuing to ensure our commitment to rapidly publishing quality applied research in economics.
