The World Economics Journal focuses on the production, analysis and use of economic data, a subject of fundamental importance to the world economy.
Data on GDP, Prices, Population, Employment, Debt and a host of other variables provide the basis for millions of daily decisions by investors, bankers, businesses, and politicians.
Yet most economic data is of poor quality (even in developed countries) and unsuited to the great responsibility placed on it.
The aim of the Journal is to provide a forum for discussion and the exchange of ideas, to foster an improvement in the quality of economic data worldwide.
