“The Journal of Institutional Economics is bringing together the best scholarship from all over the world on the study of institutions, the incentives they generate, and likely outcomes. I enthusiastically look forward to each issue.”
Professor Elinor Ostrom, University of Indiana, USA Nobel laureate, 2009 |
JOIE is devoted to the study of the nature, role and evolution of institutions in the economy, including firms, states, markets, money, households and other vital institutions and organizations. JOIE welcomes contributions by all schools of thought that can contribute to our understanding of the features, development and functions of real world economic institutions and organisations
JOIE is an interdisciplinary journal that will be of particular interest to all academics working in the social sciences, particularly in economics and business studies. Contributions from politics, geography, anthropology, sociology, law and philosophy will also be welcomed.
Some Achievements
JOIE has accepted or published essays by leading authors in the field, including Cristiano Antonelli, Masahito Aoki, Peter Boettke, John B. Davis, Alexander Field, Werner Güth, Philip Mirowski, Elinor Ostrom, Francesco Parisi, Richard Posner, Vernon W. Ruttan, John R. Searle, Mark Setterfield and Viktor Vanberg.
Publication in JOIE can bring substantial visibility for scholarship in this area. JOIE is widely available in its electronic version. One June 2005 article has already had over 12,000 full text downloads. The hard copy circulation of the journal is over 500 and rapidly increasing.
A very fast but thorough reviewing process has been established. On average so far (as of 2 February 2012, see our record track): 33% of submissions have been rejected without being sent out to referees; 34% of submissions were rejected by the editors (in an original or revised form) after being sent out to referees; only 22% of submissions received so far have been accepted by the editors in an original or revised form. Of the refereed papers (first submissions only), the editors' decision was communicated to authors within 50 days in 59% of all cases, and within 90 days in 92% of all cases. With submissions that were rejected by the editors without being sent to referees, most authors were informed within 10 days. JOIE has served authors by providing a rapid decision in almost all cases.
