About Journal
The Oxford Review of Economic Policy is a refereed journal which is published quarterly. Each issue concentrates on a current theme in economic policy, with a balance between macro- and microeconomics, and comprises an assessment and a number of articles. It gives a valuable appraisal of economic policies worldwide. While the analysis is challenging and at the forefront of current thinking, articles are presented in non-technical language to make them readily accessible to all readers. The Oxford Review is aimed at a wide audience including government, business and policy-makers, as well as academics and students. It is required reading for those who need to know where research is leading. From its inception in 1985, the Oxford Review has attracted contributions from renowned academics, including Willem Buiter, Partha Dasgupta, Barry Eichengreen, Richard Freeman, David Hendry, Paul Krugman, Stephen Nickell, Joseph Stiglitz, John Taylor and Robert Solow.

General Guidelines for Authors
Articles should be written with an intelligent audience in mind, who will be able to grasp new ideas rapidly, but who may not be familiar with the existing academic literature. The coverage is an extensive discussion of ideas at the forefront of economic research. Thus, while articles should avoid technical exposition, at the same time they are definitely not journalistic in style. They should be able to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of economic developments. Academic economists who are specialists in other fields should find the articles informative; they should turn to the Oxford Review of Economic Policy  as a way of keeping abreast of new ideas in a rapidly expanding discipline. Articles should be clear, but concise. Under no circumstances should they exceed 9,000 words, including diagrams, footnotes and tables. Articles which fail to meet this limitation may not be accepted.
