The launch of the Journal of Institutional Economics (JOIE) is imminent. A contract is about to be signed with a leading international academic publisher, and the name of the journal has been registered. The first issue of the journal is planned to appear in 2005.

JOIE will be devoted to the study of the nature, role and evolution of institutions in the economy, including firms, states, markets, money, households and other vital institutions and organizations. It will welcome contributions by all schools of thought that can contribute to our understanding of the features, development and functions of real world economic institutions and organizations.

JOIE will be dedicated to the development of cutting edge research within this broad conception of institutional economics. It will encompass research in both the ‘original’ and ‘new’ traditions of institutional economics, from Gustav Schmoller, Thorstein Veblen, John R. Commons, Wesley Mitchell and Gunnar Myrdal, to Ronald Coase, Oliver Williamson, Douglass North and many others.

JOIE will promote theoretical and empirical research that enhances our understanding of the nature, origin, role and evolution of socio-economic institutions. Ideas from many disciplines, such as anthropology, biology, geography, history, politics, psychology, philosophy, social theory and sociology, as well as economics itself, are important for this endeavor.

Despite the headline above and the double entendre, the content of JOIE will be exclusively in English.
