Journal History

It was first published in 1997 by the Dept. of Economics of FEA-USP and by FIPE, with the primary concern of filling an editorial gap in Brazil. The Journal's interest is to publish solely scientific papers on applied economics.

Nowadays, it has the same goal. Its focus is on publishing papers with economic analysis applied to specific problems of interest to the public or private sector, especially with quantitative results that bridge the gap between theory and reality.
