The GAEE Journal for Aspiring Economists (GJAE) is the flagship publication of the Global Association of Economics Education (GAEE), aiming at providing a platform for high-level economics discourse among students in developing countries and marginalized communities through our no-fee open-access model.
A platform for aspiring economists
At GAEE, we champion the proliferation of economics education opportunities for students across the globe. Continuing this tradition of empowering students through academia, the GAEE Journal for Aspiring Economists (GJAE) has been launched as an open-access no-fee peer-review journal aiming at creating a platform for high-level discourse among students interested in economics science.
The Journal is supported by generous grants from GAEE’s partners and sponsors, including the United Nations Program on Sustainable Development. If you are a scholar in the field of economics education and would like to contribute to the advancement of the field, please consider joining us as an editor or reviewer.
