Macroeconomics and Finance in Emerging Market Economies aims to be a platform for high quality studies in emerging market macroeconomics, finance and their interface. This makes it a definitive source of information and a forum for economists, financial experts and policy makers. Spillovers to, from and between emerging markets, and the interaction between macroeconomics and finance have had major global consequences, and will continue to shape the future. Strong analysis as well as interpretation of change is required in this area for a wide readership. Policy, market and regulatory evolution pose valuable research questions. Macroeconomics and Finance in Emerging Market Economies invites original research contributions on emerging market macroeconomics and finance. Theoretical and empirical papers of diverse yet rigorous methodologies are welcome. We are particularly interested in papers that are conceptually innovative and relevant in the context of emerging economies. While the focus is on academic contributions, those from industry analysts and policy makers are considered to provide alternative perspectives and an unbiased assessment of current trends. Potential topics include growth, rebalancing, commodity prices, inflation, deficits, cross border movements in labour and capital, monetary, exchange rate and fiscal policy, currency and financial crises, regulation, financial markets, corporate finance and governance. Peer Review Policy: All research articles undergo rigorous peer review, based on double-anonymous peer review, following initial editor screening and possible rejection. "To the best of my knowledge, this is the first and only international journal of its kind. Macro and financial issues, of course, figure prominently in several well established economic journals. What makes this journal unique is that it is edited and published by a leading research institution in an emerging market economy like India. It thus links the academic research community in emerging markets with professionals who have hands-on experience of policy making. I compliment Routledge for taking this initiative and for making this journal available to the wider global community.
