The Australian Economic History Review is concerned with the historical treatment of economic, social and business issues, particularly (but not exclusively) relating to Australia, New Zealand and adjoining regions in Asia and the Pacific. Papers examine these issues not only from the perspective of economic history but also from the related disciplines of history, economics, history of economic thought, industrial relations, demography, sociology, politics and business studies.

Prospects for 'closing the gap' in socioeconomic outcomes for Indigenous Australians?
Jon C. Altman, Nicholas Biddle and Boyd H. Hunter

The authors examine national level data from the last eight censuses to assess progress in 'closing the gap', and to make predictions about when convergence between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians might be achieved (if at all).
