《亞太經(jīng)濟雜志》（JAPE）主要關(guān)注亞太和南亞的發(fā)展中經(jīng)濟體。它旨在促進人們對影響并繼續(xù)塑造該地區(qū)不同經(jīng)濟體轉(zhuǎn)型的復雜因素的更深入了解。對發(fā)達國家的研究只有在對該地區(qū)的發(fā)展中國家有影響的情況下才予以考慮。《華爾街日報》的編輯政策是在理論研究和實證研究之間保持良好的平衡。JAPE出版經(jīng)濟學研究論文，但也歡迎使用多學科方法處理經(jīng)濟問題的論文。提交的文件可能包括對整個地區(qū)或部分地區(qū)的概述，也可能包括對個別國家面臨的特定問題有詳細關(guān)注的文件。Jape擁有廣泛的讀者群，這使得涉及狹隘和詳細技術(shù)問題的論文不適合包含在內(nèi)。此外，論文不應該只是其他地方使用的正式模型或統(tǒng)計技術(shù)的又一個應用。作者應注意，對結(jié)果的討論必須具有直觀意義，并且與所分析地理區(qū)域的制度和歷史背景有關(guān)。我們特別要求作者闡明他們的研究結(jié)果對政府和企業(yè)的實際政策影響。除了文章外，日本出版短文、評論和書評。它還不時就亞太地區(qū)經(jīng)濟體極為重要的事項發(fā)表專題文章。

Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy (JAPE) is concerned primarily with the developing economies within Pacific Asia and South Asia. It aims to promote greater understanding of the complex factors that have influenced and continue to shape the transformation of the diverse economies in this region. Studies on developed countries will be considered only if they have implications for the developing countries in the region.The journal's editorial policy is to maintain a sound balance between theoretical and empirical studies. JAPE publishes research papers in economics but also welcomes papers that deal with economic issues using a multi-disciplinary approach. Submissions may range from overviews spanning the region or parts of it, to papers with a detailed focus on particular issues facing individual countries.JAPE has a broad readership, which makes papers concerned with narrow and detailed technical matters inappropriate for inclusion. In addition, papers should not be simply one more application of a formal model or statistical technique used elsewhere. Authors should note that discussion of results must make sense intuitively, and relate to the institutional and historical context of the geographic area analyzed. We particularly ask authors to spell out the practical policy implications of their findings for governments and business.In addition to articles, JAPE publishes short notes, comments and book reviews. From time to time, it also publishes special issues on matters of great importance to economies in the Asia Pacific area.
