Call For Papers - The Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics (EJPE)


EJPE is a peer-reviewed academic journal 
publishing research which improves our 
understanding of the methodology, history and 
inter-disciplinary relations of economics. EJPE 
is supported by the Erasmus Department of 
Philosophy and the Erasmus Institute for 
Philosophy and Economics (EIPE) and is an open access journal.


EJPE aspires to:


· publish high quality and interesting 
contributions to the field of philosophy and economics.

· provide a forum for inter-disciplinary content 
and approaches that is particularly friendly to 
Young Scholars (graduate students and recent PhD 
graduates),  supported by an efficient and constructive peer review process.

Call For Papers

Research domains

     (1) Methodology of economics
Issues falling within the analytical philosophy 
of science tradition including the methodological 
analysis and appraisal of the concepts, theories 
and techniques of economics, both mainstream and 
heterodox. Contributions on methodological issues 
in evolutionary and institutional economics are particularly welcome.

     (2) History of economic thought
Issues in the historical development of the 
ideas, theories, and methods of economics.

     (3) Inter-disciplinary issues relating economics to other fields
Issues arising from non-traditional sources of 
critique and investigation of economics, or the 
use of economics to investigate other fields, 
including for example, ethics; sociology; 
political philosophy; continental philosophy; 
literature.  Such contributions will show a clear 
connection to economic issues and involve 
conceptual rather than purely theoretical or empirical analysis.
