Breve Histórico A Revista de Economia Contemporânea (REC) é um periódico científico editado pelo Instituto de Economia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Seguindo a tradição de debate e crítica da casa, a REC se propõe a ser uma publicação plural e aberta ao diálogo entre as distintas correntes teóricas hoje ativas na expansão da fronteira do conhecimento em economia, publicando artigos acadêmicos originais e inéditos em temas e áreas variadas da análise econômica, especialmente os que sejam relevantes para a economia do Brasil e da América Latina. A REC foi criada em 1997 como um periódico impresso e com periodicidade semestral. A partir de 2005, passou a ser publicada também em formato eletrônico e em periodicidade quadrimestral. Em 2014, a versão impressa foi encerrada e a REC se tornou uma publicação exclusivamente eletrônica. Em 2022, a REC deixou de ser uma publicação quadrimestral para adotar o modelo de publicação contínua (rolling pass), com um volume anual. Atualmente, a REC é uma revista exclusivamente eletrônica e publica cerca de 21 artigos por ano em fluxo contínuo. Todas as edições encontram-se disponíveis no acervo da revista no Portal de Revistas da UFRJ ou na coleção SciELO.
