Call for submissions | UCL Journal of Economics

We would like to invite undergraduate students studying Economics to submit to the UCL Journal of Economics this academic year. 

The UCL Journal of Economics is a new, peer-reviewed, student-run publication and the official student journal of the UCL Department of Economics. We publish a yearly issue compiled and edited by students, and reviewed by postgraduates and other academic experts. We aim to provide a free and reputable platform for undergraduate economists worldwide to begin their academic journeys, regardless of their previous experience, and create a formal record of high quality undergraduate economic research that may otherwise go unpublished.

Issue 1 included 14 articles from UCL and top American universities, with a great variety of topics studied and methodologies employed. As a sample of the high quality of papers we seek to publish, please refer to this selection from issue 1:

• “Racial Hate Crime and COVID-19: A Multinomial Choice Study in the US”: https://student-journals.ucl.ac.uk/UJE/article/id/1403/ 

• “Insects on our Plates? Potential, Challenges and Opportunities in the Edible Insect Market”: https://student-journals.ucl.ac.uk/UJE/article/id/1383/
