Journal of Population Economics is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering demographic and population-related research that intersects applied econometrics, labor economics, health economics, development economics and public policy debates involving institutions such as the European Commission, United Nations, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and World Health Organization. It publishes empirical and theoretical studies by authors affiliated with universities and research centers including Harvard University, London School of Economics, University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The journal was established in 1987 and began publication in 1988, emerging during a period marked by major demographic transitions discussed at forums like the United Nations World Population Conference and debates influenced by reports from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Founding editors drew on networks spanning the Max Planck Society, Institute for Fiscal Studies, National Bureau of Economic Research, Centre for Economic Policy Research and major universities such as Columbia University and Princeton University. Over successive editorial tenures the journal reflected shifts after events such as the Fall of the Berlin Wall, policy reforms in the European Union and the expansion of panel data resources like the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the German Socio-Economic Panel.
The journal aims to publish quantitative and theoretical work on population phenomena, linking methods from microeconometrics, game theory, general equilibrium theory, and applied branches like health policy analyses used by organizations such as the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and national statistical agencies including Statistics Canada and the Office for National Statistics. Articles address fertility, mortality, migration, aging, labor-market participation, human capital, family economics, and the interplay of demographic processes with institutions such as the European Central Bank, Bank of England, Federal Reserve System and welfare state reforms in countries like Germany, France, Japan and China.
The editorial board typically comprises editors and associate editors drawn from leading institutions such as Yale University, Stanford University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge and research organizations like the International Labour Organization and the Population Council. Submissions undergo double-blind peer review managed through systems employed by publishers like Springer Nature, involving referees affiliated with academic departments including University of Toronto, University of Melbourne, Tsinghua University and National University of Singapore. Editorial policies reflect standards endorsed by bodies such as the Committee on Publication Ethics and citation practices aligned with indexes including Scopus, Web of Science and databases maintained by the American Economic Association.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic services such as Scopus, Social Sciences Citation Index, EconLit, RePEc and bibliographies curated by institutions like the European Research Council and the National Science Foundation. Abstracting in databases maintained by the International Monetary Fund and listings in library catalogs at the Library of Congress, British Library and national libraries of Germany and France ensure discoverability for scholars at universities including McGill University, KU Leuven, ETH Zurich and University of Tokyo.
Scholars cite the journal in policy discussions and in textbooks produced by authors at Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Routledge. Influential articles have informed policy briefs at the World Bank, United Nations Population Fund, European Commission and national ministries such as the Ministry of Health (United Kingdom), Bundesministerium für Gesundheit and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (India). Citation metrics tracked in Web of Science and rankings by organizations such as the Australian Research Council and Times Higher Education reflect its standing among specialized outlets in demography and applied economics.
The journal has published empirical studies that advanced methods used in analyses of fertility and migration, drawing on data sets like the Demographic and Health Surveys, European Social Survey and administrative records from agencies such as Eurostat and the U.S. Census Bureau. Contributions have linked human-capital models associated with scholars from University of Chicago and Northwestern University to policy evaluation methods used by the World Bank and International Labour Organization, and have appeared alongside influential work by researchers affiliated with Columbia University, Brown University, Duke University and Johns Hopkins University.
Published by Springer, the journal offers subscription access alongside open-access options consistent with policies advocated by organizations such as Plan S, the European Research Council and the Wellcome Trust. Authors from institutions with agreements with publishers including MIT Press consortiums, Max Planck Society and university libraries at Harvard University and Stanford University may publish under hybrid or fully open licenses. Back issues and indexing entries are accessible through providers like JSTOR, Project MUSE and aggregator services used by academic libraries at Yale University and University of California campuses.
