Aims and scope

Applied Economic Analysis aims to provide a vehicle for the dissemination of research aimed at enhancing our understanding of the real world by applying the principles of economic analysis. The journal takes an integrative approach, while tackling a wide range of topics, all with the ultimate aim of providing the academic community with a series of scientific contributions that shed light on relevant economic issues. Quantitative studies grounded on mathematics and statistics methods helping to bring economic theory closer to the real world are particularly appreciated.

The journal was founded in 1993 as Revista de Economía Aplicada (REA) by a group of more than a hundred researchers from nearly forty universities, and since then, it has published over 500 scientifically-rigorous research papers. The journal joined the category of Economics of the Social Science Citation Index in the middle of the 2000's, and was assigned its first impact factor in 2008.
