The Australian Economic Review is an applied economics journal with a strong policy orientation. Produced by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne, it is the leading journal of its kind in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

The Australian Economic Review publishes high-quality articles applying economic analysis to a wide range of macroeconomic and microeconomic topics relevant to both economic and social policy issues. While it is of special interest to Australian academics, students, policy makers and others interested in the Australian economy, the journal also considers matters of international interest.
