The Quarterly Journal of Economic Modelling Research seeks to establish and strengthen its position as a leading scholarly journal in the fields of economic modelling and quantitative methods at the national and regional levels. To this end, the journal places particular emphasis on original, problem-oriented research that demonstrates clear theoretical, methodological, or applied innovation.
By publishing studies that establish a meaningful connection between economic theory, empirical evidence, and real-world economic issues, the journal aims to enhance the quality of economic analysis and strengthen the scientific foundations of economic policymaking. Expanding scholarly collaboration with national and international researchers and increasing the journal’s visibility in reputable academic databases and indexing services are also among its long-term priorities.
The mission of the Quarterly Journal of Economic Modelling Research is to provide a specialized scholarly platform for the development, dissemination, and exchange of knowledge in theoretical and empirical economic modelling and to promote the application of econometric, quantitative, and computational methods to the analysis of economic issues.
The journal welcomes research that, in addition to being grounded in sound economic theory and rigorous methodology, contributes to a deeper understanding of economic mechanisms, interprets model outcomes within the context of the problem under investigation, and derives clear scientific, analytical, or policy implications.
The principal objectives of the journal are to:
Publish original theoretical and applied research in economics;
Advance knowledge and methodologies in economic modelling, econometrics, and quantitative analysis;
Strengthen the link between economic theory, empirical evidence, and real-world economic problems;
Provide a forum for scholarly dialogue, critical discussion, and exchange among economic researchers;
Support interdisciplinary research with clearly defined economic questions and implications;
Encourage the development, adaptation, and contextualization of economic models in accordance with the characteristics of the economy and society under investigation;
Contribute to improving the quality of economic analysis and strengthening the scientific foundations of economic policymaking and decision-making;
Promote innovation in the design, development, and application of advanced models and methods of economic analysis.
The principal areas covered by the Quarterly Journal of Economic Modelling Research include:
Theoretical and empirical economic modelling;
Modelling of microeconomic issues and the behavior of economic agents;
Macroeconomic modelling and economic policy analysis;
Sectoral and intersectoral economic modelling;
Econometrics and the application of quantitative methods to economic analysis;
General equilibrium models, dynamic economic models, and simulation methods;
Modelling of monetary, financial, energy, environmental, trade, growth, and development issues;
Interdisciplinary research based on economic modelling and quantitative economic analysis.
The Quarterly Journal of Economic Modelling Research gives priority to manuscripts that demonstrate a clearly identifiable scientific contribution, a sound theoretical foundation, and a methodology appropriate to the research question. Authors are expected to explain the novelty of their work explicitly in relation to the existing literature and to make the scholarly value added of the study readily identifiable.
For studies that employ existing models, the mere replication, transfer, or re-estimation of a previously developed model is not considered sufficient. The choice and specification of the model should be consistent with the characteristics of the research question, the economy or population under study, and the available data. Where necessary, appropriate theoretical or empirical modifications should be introduced and adequately justified.
In econometric and quantitative studies, statistical and econometric methods should serve the purpose of addressing a clearly defined and economically meaningful research question. Studies that are primarily limited to the mechanical application of econometric techniques or statistical tests, without a sufficiently developed economic problem, substantive contribution, or meaningful interpretation of the results, are generally not prioritized for review.
A manuscript’s ability to provide an economically meaningful interpretation of its findings, explain the underlying mechanisms, assess the results within the relevant real-world economic context, and derive well-founded scientific or policy implications constitutes an important criterion in the journal’s scientific evaluation process.
