About the Journal

The Baltic Journal of Economics (BJE) disseminates high-quality original and innovative papers within a broad range of economic disciplines. It publishes research of general interest, but especially welcomes articles relevant for the Baltic region. Authors are invited to submit theoretical and empirical papers including manuscripts focused on economic policy analysis.

The Journal aims to stimulate dialogue between academics and policy makers. Accordingly, articles should be presented in a form where technical considerations come together with explanations and intuition.

The BJE provides open-access to all the accepted paper without fees. We highly value speed of publication and aim at a fast refereeing process.

The Journal  is published jointly by Stockholm School of Economics in Riga (SSE Riga) and the Baltic International Centre for Economic Policy Studies (BICEPS) in cooperation with Routledge. The publication of manuscripts is also supported by the Bank of Latvia, the Bank of Estonia, the Bank of Lithuania, and Kyiv School of Economics.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors. If found suitable for further consideration, papers are reviewed by independent, anonymous experts selected from an international pool of referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager. Please be aware that the Journal checks all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism.

The acceptance rate was 10.4% in 2015–2016. The median time to the first decision for all accepted and rejected articles (except desk rejections) is 79 days. The median time it takes to accept an article from the time of submission is 178 days.
