《后共產(chǎn)主義經(jīng)濟(jì)》是一本參考性刊物，其目的是增進(jìn)我們對(duì)前共產(chǎn)主義國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)體制、政策和表現(xiàn)的了解。《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》的重點(diǎn)主要是歐洲后共產(chǎn)主義經(jīng)濟(jì)體，包括前蘇聯(lián)的所有國(guó)家，但我們也考慮了有關(guān)蒙古、中國(guó)和越南的論文。重點(diǎn)是那些傳達(dá)原始研究結(jié)果的論文。然而，“思維碎片”和調(diào)查文章并不排除在外，只要它們是高質(zhì)量的。《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》的重點(diǎn)主要是應(yīng)用經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)和政治經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)，但如果作者證明這些論文與我們的核心主題相關(guān)，則將考慮主要具有理論性質(zhì)的論文。這些主題包括改革政策、制度變遷和宏觀、中微觀經(jīng)濟(jì)層面的經(jīng)濟(jì)績(jī)效；跨國(guó)比較分析和國(guó)際經(jīng)濟(jì)關(guān)系也在該雜志發(fā)表的論文中得到了很好的體現(xiàn)。

Post-Communist Economies is a refereed journal whose aim is to advance our understanding of the economic institutions, policies and performance of the ex-communist countries. The journal’s focus is primarily on European post-communist economies, including all the countries of the former Soviet Union, but we also consider papers on Mongolia, China and Vietnam. The emphasis is on papers that convey the findings of original research. ‘Think-pieces’ and survey articles, however, are not excluded, provided they are of high quality. The journal’s focus is chiefly on applied economics and political economy but papers that are of a primarily theoretical nature will be considered if the authors demonstrate their relevance to our core themes. Those themes include reform policies, institutional change and economic performance at micro-, meso- and macro-economic levels; cross-country comparative analysis and international economic relations are also strongly featured in papers published in the journal.
