Asian-Pacific Economic Literature (APEL) is an essential resource for anyone interested in economic development in the Asia Pacific region. With original articles on topical policy issues, literature surveys, and abstracts, APEL makes it easy for you to keep ahead of the proliferating research on this dynamic and increasingly important region.

Read by politicians, journalists, businesspeople, policy-makers, industrialists and academics, APEL avoids technical jargon, and is the only journal devoted to one-stop, in-depth reporting of research on the development of Asian-Pacific economies.
