About Journal
The World Bank Research
Observer seeks to inform nonspecialist readers about research being
undertaken within the Bank and outside the Bank in areas of economics relevant
for development policy. Requiring only a minimal background in economic
analysis, its surveys and overviews of key issues in development economics
research are intended for policymakers, project officers, journalists keeping
up to date, and teachers and students of development economics and related
disciplines. Papers for the Observer are not sent out to referees, but all
articles published are assessed and approved by the Editorial Board, which
includes three to four distinguished economists from outside the Bank.
