Casopis "Ekonomska istraživanja" izrastao je iz casopisa "Gospodarstvo Istre, uslijed njegovog preoblikovanja i proširivanja tematskih podrucja obuhvata. "Gospodarstvo Istre" svojom je tematikom pokrivalo niz znacajnih gospodarskih problema i aktualnosti svojstvenih istarskog regiji u razdoblju od 1988. do 1997. godine.Uslijed sve zapaženije uloge te istaknutijih potreba za proširivanjem tematskih podrucja, casopis "Gospodarstvo Istre" mijenja naziv u "Ekonomska istraživanja" u okviru kojeg sve znacajnije mjesto pocinju zauzimati radovi koji svojom tematikom pokrivaju znanstvene aktualnosti iz šireg okruženja jugoistocne Europe.Prateci rastuci udio stranih autora, casopis proširuje uredništvo i tim recenzenata kojeg danas sacinjava niz strucnjaka iz relevantnih znanstvenih institucija u zemlji i inozemstvu osiguravajuci na taj nacin održanje kvalitete i prepoznatljivosti casopisa u široj znanstvenoj, gospodarskoj te cjelokupnoj društvenoj javnosti.

Economic Systems is a refereed journal for the analysis of causes and consequences of the significant institutional variety prevailing among all developed, developing, emerging, and transition economies, as well as attempts at and proposals for their reform.The journal is open to micro and macro contributions, theoretical as well as empirical, the latter to analyze related topics against the background of country or region-specific experiences. This is to reflect the respective new orientation within the field of comparative economics: decades of development and transition experience in many countries have clearly demonstrated the importance of institutions and institutional change for the functioning of markets and the ways in which policies influence economic activity in general and economic growth in particular. However, we believe that institutional development is only one of the important factors in affecting domestic and global economies.Hence, Economic Systems strongly encourages submissions from all other fields, covering, but not limited to, a variety of aspects of financial and economic systems and development, including private and state banking; goods and services and financial markets; macro and micro policies and their effects; and global trade issues and exchange rate systems in all developed, developing, emerging, and transition economies. We are particularly interested in empirical papers with significant policy implications.

Economic Systems Research is a double blind peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the furtherance of theoretical and factual knowledge about economic systems, structures and processes, and their change through time and space, at the subnational, national and international level. The journal contains sensible, matter-of-fact tools and data for modelling, policy analysis, planning and decision making in large economic environments. It promotes understanding in economic thinking and between theoretical schools of East and West, North and South.Economic Systems Research is non-partisan, factual and problem-oriented. As the official journal of the International Input-Output Association (IIOA), it aims to serve as a vehicle of cross-cultural information and contact. Topics within the purview of the journal include linear and non-linear multisectoral models of structure and structural change and development, ecosystems and the treatment of depletable resources, environmental and strategic questions, life-cycle assessment, databases and databanks, large-scale computational methods and languages. The journal includes reviews of pertinent literature and special issues on new emerging areas of research in its field.Peer Review Policy:All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees (i.e. double-blind peer review).

Economic Theory provides an outlet for research in all areas of economics based on rigorous theoretical reasoning and on topics in mathematics that are supported by the analysis of economic problems. Published articles contribute to the understanding and solution of substantive economic problems. Among the topics addressed in the journal are classical and modern equilibrium theory, cooperative and non-cooperative game theory, macroeconomics, social choice and welfare, uncertainty and information, intertemporal economics (including dynamical systems), public economics, international and developmental economics, financial economics, money and banking, and industrial organization. In addition to original research articles, Economic Theory publishes surveys for particular areas of research that clearly set forth the basic underlying concepts and ideas, the essential technical apparatuses, and the central open questions.Officially cited as: Econ Theory

With a notable focus on China, Economic and Political Studies aims to disseminate significant theoretical, analytical, and empirical research on political-economic phenomena in China (or relevant to China) that have wider implications for international political economic studies. EPS encourages solid research findings that may pose challenges to and even revise the existing theories and methodologies. It welcomes original research articles that analyse the role of economic and political institutions, and consider China’s interaction with the world.

Contributions are invited from the international community of researchers in political economy, economics, political science, Chinese studies and related disciplines. Themed review articles, especially for research work in the Chinese language will also be published in order to promote the academic dialogue.

Research covered in this (triennial) interdisciplinary journal is not bound by temporal or geographic limitations.Themes include:The impact of socio-economic processes, such as industrialization, urbanization, agricultural policy, technological change and commercialization and the degree of penetration of the world food system on biological welfare and health outcomes.The effects of government intervention programs, as well as macroeconomic and public health policy on the human organism at either the individual or the population level.Feedback effects from human biological outcomes to economic growth at the national, regional and local levels insofar as healthier individuals invariably lead longer more creative and more productive lives, influencing thereby the course of economic development.The complex symbiotic relationship between such anthropometric indicators as weight, birth-weight, physical stature and the body-mass-index, as well as morbidity and mortality, on the one hand and socio-economic processes or events on the other.The conceptualization of health and health models in economic theory.The measurement of poverty, malnutrition and psychological deprivation and the role of health and income inequality in the persistence of poverty traps.The biological components of the quality of life: how well does the human organism itself thrive in its socio-economic and epidemiological environment.Health and economic systems; environment and health; health in the transition economies.Statistical, econometric, methodological and philosophical issues associated with the measurement and modeling of these relationships.Contributions in auxology, anthropometry, biocultural anthropology, demography, development economics, economic history, epidemiology, health economics, human biology, human nutrition, health sciences, medicine, physical anthropology, public health and sociology are welcomed.
