Brookings Papers on Economic Activity

BPEA Call for Papers
Most papers that appear in the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity are solicited by the editors, but the editors also consider submitted proposals.

The journal publishes research in macroeconomics, broadly defined, with an emphasis on analysis that is empirical and relevant to economic policy. We are interested in papers on a wide range of topics, including fiscal and monetary policy, asset pricing, labor markets, consumption and saving behavior, business investment, housing, wage- and price-setting, business cycles, long-run economic growth, the distribution of income and wealth, international capital flows and exchange rates, international trade and development, and the macroeconomic implications of health costs, energy supply and demand, environmental issues, and the education system. Most important, we are looking for innovative work that enhances the understanding of economic relationships and appeals to the broad policy community, including analysts from universities, governments, and businesses.

CALL FOR PAPERS Although most papers that appear in the Brookings Papers are solicited by the editors, the editors welcome submitted proposals. Editorial decisions are generally made about nine months in advance of each conference. Therefore, proposals should be received by December 1 for the following fall conference and by June 1 for the following spring conference. Proposals should be no more than five double-spaced pages and should be sent to brookingspapers@brookings.edu.
