The World Bank economic review 15 (1) (original) (raw)

2001, The World Bank Economic Review

The World Bank Economic Review is a professional journal for the dissemination of World Bank-sponsored and outside research that may inform policy analyses and choices. It is directed to an international readership among economists and social scientists in government, business, and international agencies, as well as in universities and development research institutions. The Review emphasizes policy relevance and operational aspects of economics, rather than primarily theoretical and methodological issues. It is intended for readers familiar with economic theory and analysis but not necessarily proficient in advanced mathematical or econometric techniques. Articles will illustrate how professional research can shed light on policy choices. Inconsistency with Bank policy will not be grounds for rejection of an article. Articles will be drawn from work conducted by World Bank staff and consultants and from papers submitted by outside researchers. Before being accepted for publication, all articles will be reviewed by two referees who are not members of the Bank's staff and one World Bank staff member. Articles must also be recommended by a member of the Editorial Board. Non-Bank contributors are requested to submit a proposal of not more than two pages in length to the Editor or a member of the Editorial Board before sending in their paper. Comments or brief notes responding to Review articles are welcome and will be considered for publication to the extent that space permits. Please direct all editorial correspondence to the Editor, The World Bank Economic Review, The World Bank,
