International Advances in Economic Research has been established on the premise that there is a substantial need to increase communication and share constructive viewpoints among economists. In addition to formal publication of full-length articles, other avenues of less formal communication should be available. A small point may not be worthy of a formal paper but is important enough to warrant dissemination to colleagues. Research in progress may be of interest to other economists. A research approach ending in negative results needs to be shared to save others from similar pitfalls.
Research Notes has been established to facilitate this form of communication. They provide a means by which short manuscripts can quickly appear in IAER. Every attempt will be made to complete the review process within one month after receipt of the Research Note.
