The articles use the best of modern economic analysis, but are also easily accessible to a wide audience and highly readable.
Each paper is discussed by a rotating panel of distinguished economists whose comments are published to provide the reader with alternative interpretations of the evidence and a sense of the liveliness of the current debate.

Four issues of Economic Policy are published each year by Blackwell Publishing, in association with the European Economic Association for the Centre for Economic Policy Research, the Center for Economic Studies (CES)University of Munich Département et Laboratoire d'Economie Théorique et Appliquée (DELTA), in collaboration with the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme.

The papers are commissioned by a team of editors: Richard Portes, Georges de Ménil and Hans-Werner Sinn (Senior Editors) and Philippe Martin, Philip Lane Tullio Jappelli, and Jan van Ours (Managing Editors).

The journal can only be purchased from Blackwell Publishing and is available on a subscription or a single-order basis.
