Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics (OBES)
Journal Descriptions
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics is a long‑standing, influential scholarly journal that first appeared in 1939 under the title Bulletin of the Oxford University Institute of Economics & Statistics and adopted its current title in 1973. It is published bimonthly by John Wiley & Sons (Wiley‑Blackwell) on behalf of the Department of Economics, University of Oxford. The journal serves as a venue for high‑quality applied economics and econometrics research that emphasizes both methodological rigor and real‑world relevance. Articles typically address key contemporary issues such as macroeconomic fluctuations, monetary and fiscal policy impacts, labour market dynamics, inequality, econometric techniques, and economic development, often with implications for policy formulation and evaluation. The Bulletin is widely abstracted and indexed in major international databases including Scopus, SSCI and SCIE, reflecting its academic recognition within economics and statistics communities. Contributors include leading economists and quantitative researchers who aim to advance understanding of complex economic phenomena through theoretical insights and empirical evidence. With its broad interdisciplinary coverage, the journal bridges economic theory, statistical methodology, and public policy analysis, making it essential reading for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in economics and related social sciences.
