The Romanian Economic and Business Review
“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!
Statement of Purpose
The Romanian Economic and Business Review is the first peer-reviewed Romanian journal in the field of economics and business. This journal intends to provide a forum for academic analysis of the economic phenomena and institutions affecting the world economy in general, and Romania, in particular. REBE examines a wide variety of phenomena related to economic growth and business development and attempts to publish high quality research focusing on the role of institutions and public policy, within both a national and international context. REBE encourages cross-disciplinary research work of Romanian and foreign scholars.
Author Information
The ROMANIAN ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS REVIEW (REBE) is a refereed journal published four times annually by the Romanian-American University. The editors invite submissions of articles that deal with important issues in economy and business. Papers that focus on specific phenomena and events affecting Romanian economy are particularly encouraged. Because REBE seeks a broad audience, papers should be comprehensible beyond narrow disciplinary bounds.
Manuscripts should not exceed 8,000 words and must conform to the REBE’s style requirements, which are guided by The Chicago Manual of Style (14th edition). All submissions must include a cover sheet explaining the scope of the article, and including the authors’ names and affiliations, telephone and e-mail address. The text should be single-spaced. References are cited with parentheses using the author/date/page style. Example: (Marcus, 2005, p. 74). Authors should use footnotes, not endnotes to add only short comments. Bibliography should include only references cited in the text, in the alphabetical order of authors. An abstract of no more than 200 words should be included.
Submission of a paper implies that the paper will not be submitted for publication to another journal unless rejected by the REBE editor or withdrawn by the author, and that it is an original work. All submissions should be sent to the journal Editor:
