The Review of Economics and Institutions publishes original papers covering a large array of topics in economics. Although submissions of high-quality theoretical articles (not confined to deductive model-building) will be considered, a privileged attention will be paid to applied contributions, which are expected to be endowed with a solid and up-to-date theoretical background, and to use advanced statistical or econometric procedures. A comparative perspective of analysis, as well as a specific focus on institutional factors underlying the differentials in economic performance across countries, industries, regions or firms, will be particularly appreciated. This perspective is indeed believed a crucial interpretative key to fully understand the factors to succeed in the globalised economy. The Review offers authors the possibility to have their papers accepted in less than three months; specifically, it is conceived for young economists at their earlier stages of research activity. The undertaking by the Editorial board to provide a decision within ten weeks from the submission date is motivated by the awareness that, in any field, research activity is characterized by an increasingly rapid circulation of ideas and scientific outcomes. It entails research findings to be published before becoming out-of-date, and hence of minor interest for policy guidance. Clearly, it cannot occur at the cost of a low-quality process of reviewing; for this reason, a direct assessment of the content of the papers, as well as a tight control on the overall reviewing process, is guaranteed by the Editorial board. A preliminary selection might be done by the Editorial Board to assess the correspondence of the paper’s content with the aims of the Review. This type of response, that does not necessary imply a negative evaluation of the quality of the work, is finalized to avoid a lengthier procedure for papers with a low probability to be published. Despite the generalist nature of the Review, contributions in the following fields are particularly welcome: labour economics, industrial economics, resources economics, regulatory economics, international economics, regional economics, and economics of innovation and growth.

Abstract
The Review of Economics and Institutions publishes original papers covering a large array of topics in economics. Although submissions of high-quality theoretical articles (not confined to deductive model-building) will be considered, a privileged attention will be paid to applied contributions, which are expected to be endowed with a solid and up-to-date theoretical background, and to use advanced statistical or econometric procedures. A comparative perspective of analysis, as well as a specific focus on institutional factors underlying the differentials in economic performance across countries, industries, regions or firms, will be particularly appreciated. This perspective is indeed believed a crucial interpretative key to fully understand the factors to succeed in the globalised economy. The Review offers authors the possibility to have their papers accepted in less than three months; specifically, it is conceived for young economists at their earlier stages of research activity. The undertaking by the Editorial board to provide a decision within ten weeks from the submission date is motivated by the awareness that, in any field, research activity is characterized by an increasingly rapid circulation of ideas and scientific outcomes. It entails research findings to be published before becoming out-of-date, and hence of minor interest for policy guidance. Clearly, it cannot occur at the cost of a low-quality process of reviewing; for this reason, a direct assessment of the content of the papers, as well as a tight control on the overall reviewing process, is guaranteed by the Editorial board. A preliminary selection might be done by the Editorial Board to assess the correspondence of the paper’s content with the aims of the Review. This type of response, that does not necessary imply a negative evaluation of the quality of the work, is finalized to avoid a lengthier procedure for papers with a low probability to be published. Despite the generalist nature of the Review, contributions in the following fields are particularly welcome: labour economics, industrial economics, resources economics, regulatory economics, international economics, regional economics, and economics of innovation and growth.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
