The Journal of Population Economics is an international quarterly that publishes original theoretical and applied research and survey articles on topics dealing with broadly defined relationships between economic and demographic problems. Both extensive surveys of wider areas and shorter reviews of important new developments are considered. Appropriate microlevel topics may cover household behavior, including household formation, fertility choices, education, labor supply, and migration; macrolevel topics may deal with economic growth with exogenous or endogenous population evolution, population policy, savings and pensions, social security, housing, and health care. Economic approaches to biology, studies dealing with the interrelation between population dynamics and public choice and research on the impact of population on the distribution of income and wealth are of interest. Papers dealing with policy issues and development problems are also being solicited if they deal with population issues.
