About
Journal
The mission of the Journal of
Comparative Economics is to lead the new orientations of research in
comparative economics. Before 1989, the core of comparative economics was the
comparison of economic systems with in particular the economic analysis of socialism
in its different forms. In the last fifteen years, the main focus of interest
of comparative economists has been the transition from socialism to capitalism.
In recent years, mostly as a result of the transition experience, a new
orientation of comparative economics has emerged that focuses on the comparison
of the economic effects of the various institutions of capitalism, be it in the
legal sphere (common law versus civil law), in the political sphere (different
types of democracies and electoral regimes) or in the sphere of culture, social
norms, etc. This new orientation is a natural development following the very
diverse experience of transitions from socialism to capitalism. The transition
experience has indeed shown with a vengeance the importance of institutions in
the process of economic development.

General
Guidelines for Authors
Save the file in the
native format of the word processor used. The text should be in single-column
format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting
codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do
not use the word processor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words.
However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. Do not embed
"graphically designed" equations or tables, but prepare these using
the word processor's facility. When preparing tables, if you are using a table
grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row.
If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. Do not import the
figures into the text file but, instead, indicate their approximate locations
directly in the electronic text. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly
advised to use the "spellchecker" function of your word processor.
