Aims and scope
Labour Economics Letters (formerly known as Revista de Economía Laboral) is the scientific journal of the Spanish Association of Labour Economics (Asociación Española de Economía del Trabajo, AEET). Our mission is to contribute significantly to the literature by facilitating the swift dissemination and easy accessibility of new findings, models, and methods across all areas of research in Labour Economics. We invite researchers from around the world to submit their original manuscripts, which must be written in English. The "letter" format is specifically designed for succinct communications that effectively convey important new research developments. For example, theorists may submit compelling examples to Labour Economics Letters prior to elaborating on them in more comprehensive papers intended for other journals. Likewise, empirical researchers can share crucial preliminary findings that may not meet the rigorous standards of robustness, thoroughness, or completeness typically required for full articles.
Labour Economics Letters specializes in Labour Economics and publishes short accounts of original research in the field broadly defined. While works are generally applied in nature, theoretical and methodological contributions are also welcome. Article topics include, but are not limited to:
- Gender issues
- Self-employment
- Macroeconomics and labour market dynamics
- Education
- Regional labour markets
- Labour statistics
- Inequality
- Programming issues
- New empirical approaches
We are committed to maintaining a streamlined review process, ensuring rapid publication, and providing an efficient platform for sharing relevant economic research. If you are interested in contributing, please review our guidelines for submission.
