The Singapore Economic Review

The Singapore Economic Review (SER) is a premier quarterly journal that publishes the most influential policy and applied economics research alongside high-quality theoretical studies. Renowned as one of the leading economic journals in the Asia-Pacific region, SER has a rich history of addressing critical economic issues in Southeast Asia and beyond. While the journal covers a wide range of global economic topics, its focus remains on rigorous empirical research that tackles macroeconomic, microeconomic, financial, and social challenges, particularly on issues facing Asian economies. 

SER also welcomes interdisciplinary papers, fostering academic intersections and enriching the global economic discourse. Keeping scholars informed of the latest developments in the field serves as a crucial platform for advancing knowledge and innovation in economics. 

Originally published as the Malayan Economic Review (MER) in 1956, the journal was renamed the Singapore Economic Review (SER) in 1969. Over the years, it has featured contributions from some of the most distinguished economists, including Sir John Hicks, Ragnar Nurkse, W.M. Corden, Herbert Grubel, G. Ranis, and many others. SER enjoys a wide international readership, with subscribers including the libraries of esteemed institutions like Harvard University, Stanford University, and the University of Oxford. 

The editorial board comprises leading scholars from around the world, each bringing unique expertise to guide the journal's impactful research. The SER editorial office is hosted at the School of Social Sciences, NTU.
