The STRATI Journal of Child Research aims to focus on policy oriented theoretical and empirical research papers related to economic behaviour related to children, child health, and child economic and social well being. The analysis of the impact of public policy on the well-being of children and the economics of children’s issues are emerging area of interest for policymakers. The journal invites contributions from academicians, researchers, and practitioners from across many different fields, including labour economics, public economics, industrial organization, econometrics, and development economics with focus on a diverse set of issues related to the well-being of children.
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 to STRATI Journal of Child Research 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.
