Revista Brasileira de Economia is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Fundação Getulio Vargas that covers applied and theoretical work in macroeconomics, microeconomics, economic history, and development studies with a Latin American focus. The journal publishes original research, survey articles, and policy-relevant analyses by scholars affiliated with universities, research institutes, and central banks across Brazil and internationally. It serves as a venue connecting Brazilian scholarship with debates involving institutions across the Americas and Europe.

History

The journal was founded in 1947 amid postwar intellectual currents associated with Getúlio Vargas and institutional developments involving Fundação Getulio Vargas, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, and other Brazilian centers. Early issues featured contributions from economists linked to Raul Prebisch-influenced debates involving the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and scholars sympathetic to structuralist approaches. Over decades the periodical engaged with international networks including participants from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, London School of Economics, University of Chicago, Stanford University, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, Universität Bonn, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Università di Bologna, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de los Andes, University of Toronto, and Australian National University.

Editorial transitions reflected broader shifts in Latin American policy debates exemplified by interactions with the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Inter-American Development Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and national institutions such as the Banco Central do Brasil and the Ministry of Finance (Brazil). Prominent contributors over time included scholars associated with legacies of Celso Furtado, João Baptista de Holanda, Ignácio Rangel, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and visiting authors from schools that trace to John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman, Raúl Prebisch, and Adam Smith-influenced classical traditions.

Scope and Editorial Focus

The journal emphasizes research on Brazilian and Latin American issues while situating analyses in global literatures connected to Keynesian economics, Monetarism, New Keynesian economics, Neoclassical economics, Structuralism (economics), and debates influenced by scholars from Cambridge School (economics). Topics include macroeconomic stabilization episodes such as the Plano Real, inflationary episodes like hyperinflation studies compared to crises in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela, and policy reforms linked to privatization discussions involving Petrobras and utilities regulated under frameworks influenced by European Union directives and World Trade Organization rules. Thematic issues have examined labor markets in contexts related to Confederação Nacional do Trabalho, social policy linked to Bolsa Família, taxation and fiscal federalism involving the Federal Senate (Brazil), and international trade integrating literature on Mercosur and NAFTA.

Publication and Access

Published quarterly by Fundação Getulio Vargas in both print and electronic formats, the journal accepts submissions in Portuguese, English, and Spanish from researchers affiliated with institutions such as Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada, Centro Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais, Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo, and international universities listed above. Back issues are archived in national repositories including holdings at the Biblioteca Nacional (Brazil), university libraries like Biblioteca da Universidade de São Paulo, and digital aggregators used by institutions such as SciELO and university subscriptions managed via platforms similar to those offered by JSTOR and EBSCO.

Abstracting and Indexing

The journal is indexed in regional and international services comparable to Scopus, Web of Science, EconLit, RePEc, and subject databases provided by national libraries such as Biblioteca Nacional (Brazil). Abstracting coverage links its content to citation networks tracked by agencies similar to Clarivate Analytics and digital scholarship infrastructures affiliated with CrossRef, ORCID, and institutional repositories at Fundação Getulio Vargas and partner universities.

Editorial Board and Peer Review

The journal operates a double-blind peer review process with external referees drawn from networks connected to research councils such as CNPq, CAPES, FAPESP, and academic associations like the Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Economia and international societies akin to the American Economic Association and Latin American and Caribbean Economic Association.
