History of the Journal

Economica 100 Challenge
As the "house journal" celebrates 100 years, the aim over the next two years or so is to publish 100 papers by former students as well as current and former faculty. The Centenary conference launched this process and the papers from the conference appear in a special centenary edition.
Papers submitted as part of this initiative will be peer reviewed. If accepted, papers will include a footnote outlining the connection of the submitting author to LSE.
These papers will be promoted on the Department of Economics website as well as via the journal’s usual channels.
