Open Economics: Weigh in

Norbert Häring, guest blogger

The World Economics Association’s forum for the open review of proposed articles for the World Economics Journal and for Economic Thought is now open. 19 submissions have been posted so far. It is located at http://discussion.worldeconomicsassociation.org/.

The World Economics Association has been founded in spring 2011 and has so far attracted more than 7000 members from around 120 countries. The Journals of the association are committed to a policy of inclusiveness, openness and transparency. You are encouraged to read and comment on submitted papers that interest you. Editors will also make public comments to make their final decision making process transparent and to allow readers and authors to react and interact.
