The Developing Economies《发展经济学》(季刊). The Developing Economies is a multi-disciplinary quarterly journal of development studies that publishes original research articles on issues relating to developing countries,transition and emerging economies,and developed countries before the take-off. Its unique feature is to welcome both quantitative articles supported by statistical evidence,and qualitative articles based on new data and/or a deep understanding of a specific country,region,or event,which explain new hypotheses,viewpoints,or insights. We expect such qualitative articles to encourage future research that takes a more rigorous empirical approach.
