The European Journal of Comparative Economics (EJCE)

Several years have elapsed since the beginning of transition in Eastern Europe, and the profession has learnt a lot about the importance of institutions in the economy and our deep need for additional research on their influence on the interaction of the units that play the economic game. The study of economies that do not fit the paradigm of the competitive market, a field of enquiry that used to belong to the sideline of scientific enquiry, has been joined by leading scientists in the field, who were inspired by the new knowledge gained through the processes of transition and intrigued bthe policy problems posed by transformation of bureaucratically run socialist economies into capitalist market economies. The same institutional and social understanding is equally relevant to questions of conomic development, to the elimination of cleavages between North and South, and to the solution of problems of globalization. The European Journal of Comparative Economics (EJCE) was launched in 2004 a by the LIUC University upon a project of Giovanni B. Ramello, at that time Faculty member of the LIUC University Law School, and with the technical advice of Piero Cavaleri, the LIUC Library Director, with the cooperation European Association of Comparative Economic Studies” (EACES; Additional information on EACES is provided on the Association’s site http://www.eaces.eu/ and in its electronic Newsletters) and more precisely with the seminal collaboration of Vittorio Valli, Università di Torino and Michael Keren, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The team Cavaleri, Keren, Ramello and Valli has managed the journal for almost a decade -- this adventure has been described in the following article: Cavaleri, P., Keren, M., Ramello G.B. & Valli, V. (2009) "Publishing an E-Journal on a Shoe String: Is It a Sustainable Project?", Economic Analysis and Policy, 39(1), 89-102 freely avaialable here Since the EJCE has been published as a refereed Journal, fully Open Access, that is to say by providing free of charge to authors and readers a valuable scholarly publication, thanks to the participation of a number of well known scholars as editors, board members, reviewers and authors specialized in the different fields of comparative economic studies. Today EJCE thanks to a renewed participation of distinguished scholars from all around the words goes on in making available to an international audience schlarly research in the broad field of comparative economics. We hope that The European Journal of Comparative Economics (EJCE) will prove an efficient disseminator of new comparative economic knowledge and serve as a doorway for young researchers, in East and West, North and South, to this important and fascinating field. The e-journal, The European Journal of Comparative Economics is published by the Università Carlo Cattaneo - LIUC.
