“The Magazine of the Year”: “The Romanian Economic and Business Review”, a real forum for analysis of the economic phenomena and institutions affecting the world economy in general, and Romania, in particular, a refereed journal published by the Romanian-American University. We think people should check out this journal having an international board of editors and publishing foreign and romanian authored articles.

It is refreshing to see that such a new romanian academic journal exists on the market. Romanian Economic and Business Review is concerned with both the broad issues of globalization and economic integration and specific problems of interest for romanian economy. The first no. is available at http://www.rau.ro/mydocuments/rebe/rebe-1-prt.pdf and, contains scholarly articles on issues like globalization, European Union and economic policy. The papers on the “spread of flat tax theology in Romania” (written by Anthony Evans), the uncertain future of EU (authored by Florin Bonciu) and the critique of cluster-based industrial policy (Bogdan Glavan) are particularly impressive.

The second no. brings together stimulating contributions from various authors, among which we mention a challenging perspective on the future of the international monetary order and an insightful article on welfare economics in the monopoly theory.

If it continues with such high quality articles, REBE will soon become recognized as one of the leading romanian journals in the field of economics. Look at this third no. too, check out and let’s the buzz start!
