Aims and Scope

Research in Applied Economics (RAE) is a prestigious international online journal dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of economic principles in the real world. Our primary aim is to provide a platform for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to share their insights, findings, and experiences in the field of applied economics. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and promoting rigorous empirical and theoretical research, RAE aims to contribute to the development of innovative solutions to contemporary economic challenges.

RAE welcomes submissions that explore the intersection of economic theory and practice, with a particular emphasis on the analysis and evaluation of economic policies and their impacts on various sectors and stakeholders. The journal's scope is broad and inclusive, covering a wide range of topics that are relevant to applied economics:
