Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Economics of Education welcomes original papers from academicians, researchers and practitioners alike, and particularly encourages submissions that draw on policy-oriented theoretical and empirical research focusing on economic issues relating to education, including the demand for education, supply of education and the financing and provision of education.

The papers should generally be 6000-8000 words with abstract of not more than 200 words, though more substantial papers will be considered. The contributions should reflect the interdisciplinary emphasis, which is fundamental to the journal. The papers will be double-blind refereed using an appropriate cross-section of reviewers drawn from the target interests. The journal aims for a turn-around time of three months from submission to publication to ensure rapid dissemination and dynamic discussion of ideas and results. The Editor, therefore, welcomes early contact prior to submission of manuscripts with, for example, an abstract. Book reviews are also included.

STRATI Journal of Economics of Education will be of interest to academicians, researchers and practitioners working in interdisciplinary fields, policy and decision makers in national and local government and relevant agencies, and non-governmental organisations. The Editorial Board provides a unique mix of expertise from both the academic community and a full range of interested parties.

The STRATI Journal of Economics of Education is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international journal covering policy and decision-making relating to economics of education in the broadest sense. Uniquely, its specific aim is to strengthen economics of education research focusing on integration of economics input in planning, designing, and evaluation and enhancing the competence in education policy analysis. The focus of the STRATI Journal of Economics of Education is on acquisition of skills and knowledge, earnings, cultural capital, human capital, technological capital, educational returns, gender differences in education, educational attainment and status, education and wealth, educational and labour productivity, skills and capabilities, education and ability, supply of education, education financing and provision, public funding and higher education, public education and universal education, equality of opportunity and social cohesion, application of economics to education, learning inputs and outputs, effects on schools, families, peers, neighbourhoods, labour market outcomes, attendance, graduation rates, and standardized test scores, student achievement and impact of families and friends, school resources and student performance, and returns on education.

The areas covered, and their inter-relationships in informing decision-making and policy, therefore include what determines or creates education, what impact education has on individuals and the societies and economies, outcomes to educational investment and the creation of human capital, identify opportunities for improved efficiency, equity, and quality of education and promote effective education reform processes, what drives education outcomes and results, and how to strengthen the links of education systems with the labour market. The contribution to the STRATI Journal of Economics of Education should also broadly focus on economic analysis of education interventions, finance and expenditures in education, public-private partnerships in the education sector, school-based management, impact evaluation, and quality of education.
