The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance (QREF) attracts and publishes high quality manuscripts that cover topics in the
areas of economics, financial economics and finance. The subject matter may be theoretical, empirical or policy related. Emphasis is
placed on quality, originality, clear arguments, persuasive evidence, intelligent analysis and clear writing. At least one Special Issue
is published per year. These issues have guest editors, are devoted to a single theme and the papers have well known authors. In addition
we pride ourselves in being able to provide three to four article "Focus" sections in most of our issues. These "Focus" sections have
a common theme, may or may not have a guest editor, and often contain papers that were presented in a session at a regional, national
or international meeting. These can be published in a very timely manner. Finally, QREF is the journal of the Midwest Economic
Association. At least two members are chosen by this organization to serve on the editorial board. The editors of QREF place
special efforts into working with young authors.
