Periodical of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences 
Acta Oeconomica (founded in 1966) is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original articles on issues relevant to the economic development of post-Communist Europe and Asia. These issues include theoretical and empirical problems of the transition process, institutions, political economy, economic policy, and regional integration. Many of the problems the post-Communist region faces are shared with other European and Asian countries, such as green and digital transition and the build-up of a knowledge-based economy. The journal is also interested in articles addressing the geopolitical systemic change surrounding these issues.
Given the focus on real-world problems and a particular region, the journal is pluralistic in its methodology. We welcome relevant theoretical articles, statistical analyses, and single or comparative case studies. A specific aim of the journal is to preserve the heritage of the great Hungarian economist, János Kornai, thus articles using the system paradigm are particularly encouraged. In addition to academic papers, the journal is also open to policy-oriented articles.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to a rigorous peer review process, based on initial editorial screening and double-blind refereeing by a minimum of two external specialist referees. We aim to provide a first decision on peer review within a week of receiving an article.
Gold open access publication is available in the journal.
