Journal of Applied Economics and Policy

Call for Papers

      In December, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Kentucky Economic Association made three important decisions concerning the Association's journal, the Kentucky Journal of Economics and Business. First, the name of the journal will henceforth be known as the Journal of Applied Economics and Policy.  The Journal will continue to accept manuscripts from all JEL classifications, and all manuscripts will be double-blind refereed.

    Second, the Journal will henceforth be an electronic journal. This change is designed to increase access to the manuscripts published in the Journal. When each volume is published, the editor will announce publication to a wide audience of academic and professional economists and provide links to each manuscript. Furthermore, people will be able to access manuscripts through EBSCO.

Third, the Journal will be published more frequently. In the past the Journal was published annually, but in the future the Journal will be published when a sufficient number of manuscripts are accepted.  We hope to publish twice a year if a sufficient number of manuscripts are accepted.

If you are interested in submitting a manuscript for consideration, please log on to the Journal web site at http://www.wku.edu/jaep/.  There you will be able to submit your manuscript electronically and pay the submission fee of $20.
