Description

The Review of Economic Design has been accepted for Social Sciences Citation Index, Journal Citation Reports / Social Sciences Edition and Current Contents / Social and Behavioral Sciences and will first appear with an Impact Factor in the 2010 Journal Citation Reports (JCR), released in 2011. Review of Economic Design explores the art and science of inventing, analyzing, and testing economic, social, and political institutions and mechanisms. The journal applies normative and positive economics and the strategic analysis of game theory, using novel ideas for designing and assembling diverse legal-economic instruments. Among these instruments are constitutions and other assignments of rights; mechanisms for allocation or regulation; tax and incentive schemes; contract forms; voting and other choice aggregation procedures; markets; auctions; and a variety of organizational forms. These designs, the methods of analysis, along with comparative assessments of the performance of known economic systems and implemented designs are all important components of the journal.Officially cited as: Rev Econ Design
