ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Institutions and Economies is a peer reviewed journal published by the Faculty of Business and Economics, University of Malaya. This journal is targeted at advancing the study of institutions and the functioning of firms, organizations, networks and civil society in the demand and delivery of goods and services. The journal specifically promotes research on the role of institutions in allocating and coordinating social and economic needs of societies. The journal does not favour any particular institution, but encourages that submissions justify empirically whatever position taken with a focus on the advancement of society. The journal also has a strong interest in scientific papers that use empirical evidence to analytically examine institutions and institutional change in emerging economies.
