Labour Economics, the Journal of the European
Association of Labour Economists, wants to signal
its interest in publishing more high-quality
research on labor economics and labor markets in
developing countries. While most labor economic
research focuses on the US and Western Europe, the
majority of the world’s population, and particularly
of the poor, live in countries where labor markets
often work quite differently. The journal wishes to
promote and stimulate research on employment and,
more generally, on labor economics in developing
countries. To this end, a special issue on
developing countries’ labour markets will be
published by Labour Economics by the end of 2010.
Lead articles will be provided by Gary Fields
(Cornell) and Francis Teal (Oxford).
Papers can be submitted to this special issue until
November 15, 2009. (Please note that submission to
this special issue is independent of the submission
to the IZA/World Bank conference.)
