About Central European Economic Journal

Aim and Scope

The aim of the Central European Economic Journal is to present the diversity of economic sciences and to shape the image of contemporary economics as a discipline that is open to interdisciplinarity, current economic phenomena, new methods, new research trends and emerging economic challenges. Therefore, Central European Economic Journal publishes high quality, original theoretical and empirical research papers in the field of economics and finance as well as at the intersection of economics and sociology, demography, political science, law and management.

CEEJ addresses the broad international community, but especially welcomes papers which focus on socio-economic problems relevant to Central and Eastern Europe, comparative studies of CEE and other regions, and research on emerging economies whose findings are relevant beyond a single country. Studies of other countries are considered when they make a clear contribution to the international literature.

CEEJ publishes original research articles and systematic or critical literature reviews that advance the field. Opinion papers appear only in special issues.

The journal accepts papers which fall under (but are not restricted to) the following research areas:

Macroeconomics, monetary economics and regional development, including resilience to economic and geopolitical shocks
Microeconomics and industrial organisation:firm and consumer behaviour, market structure and competition
International trade and economic integration, including trade policy and the EU Single Market
Public economics and policy: taxation, public finance, EU funds and policy evaluation
Financial markets and investments: market efficiency, asset pricing, investment funds, bonds, cryptocurrencies and financial forecasting
Corporate finance, accounting and governance, including ESG performance and financial reporting
Quantitative methods in economics, including econometrics, efficiency and productivity analysis, and machine learning
Labour, population and household economics: labour market outcomes, gender, ageing and well-being
Energy, environmental and climate economics: renewable energy, green growth and carbon pricing
Agricultural and food economics, rural development and food supply chains
Innovation, entrepreneurship and the new digital economy, artificial intelligence impact on societies, businesses, labour markets and education
