Journal of Institutional Economics is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering research in institutional economics, institutional change, and institutional analysis. Founded in 2005, the journal publishes theoretical, empirical, and historical studies that connect institutional frameworks to policy debates and comparative studies.

History

The journal was established in 2005 with support from editors and scholars associated with New Institutional Economics networks and institutions such as Cambridge University Press, Royal Economic Society, European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy, and research groups at University of Cambridge and University of California, Berkeley. Early editorial leadership drew on figures linked to Douglass North, Oliver Williamson, Ronald Coase, Elinor Ostrom, and centers like the Becker Friedman Institute and the Centre for Economic Policy Research. The launch period intersected with debates originating in conferences at Nuffield College, St Antony's College, and workshops sponsored by the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Scope and Aims

The journal targets work on institutional analysis that engages with case studies from regions such as North America, Western Europe, East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. It emphasizes methodological diversity linking scholars from University College London, Stockholm School of Economics, Sciences Po, Princeton University, and University of Toronto. The scope includes comparative institutional history referencing episodes like the Industrial Revolution, the Meiji Restoration, the Glorious Revolution, and transitions after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as studies of regulatory institutions tied to bodies such as the European Central Bank, Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization.

Editorial Board and Peer Review

The editorial board comprises academics associated with departments and centers at Columbia University, Brown University, Stanford University, University of Michigan, Duke University, and McGill University. Peer review follows single-blind or double-blind procedures drawing reviewers from networks linked to the American Economic Association, Royal Statistical Society, Economic History Association, Association for Comparative Economic Studies, and specialist groups at Harvard Kennedy School and London School of Economics and Political Science. Guest editors for special issues have been drawn from institutes like the Bauhaus University Weimar, University of Bonn, and Australian National University.

Abstracting and Indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed by major services including Scopus, Web of Science, EconLit, RePEc, and databases operated by ProQuest and EBSCO. Library cataloguing uses classifications employed by entities such as the British Library, the Library of Congress, and university systems at University of Oxford Bodleian Libraries and Harvard Library. Citation tracking appears in platforms associated with Clarivate Analytics and metrics reported in outlets like the Journal Citation Reports.

Impact and Reception

Reviews and citations appear in articles from journals including American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Political Economy, Economic Journal, and Cambridge Journal of Economics. The journal has been discussed at conferences organized by International Economic Association, European Economic Association, Latin American and Caribbean Economic Association, and in policy forums at the United Nations and the European Commission.
