BICEPS - Baltic International Centre For Economic Policy Studies

SSE Riga/BICEPS Research Papers series focuses on academic research.

We welcome working papers in all fields of economics. Submissions from authors affiliated with institutions located in the Baltic states, researchers visiting Baltic states and PhD students are especially encouraged. The papers are published electronically, are available for free downloading from SSE Riga and BICEPS websites and are indexed in RePEc.

Papers are subject to a quick review process. If you are interested in publishing your paper in SSE Riga/BICEPS Research Papers series, please e-mail your proposal to Anna Zasova at anna[at]biceps.org. The series does not provide a proofreading service and does not adopt a particular formatting style.
