ECONOMICS OF TRANSITION《转型经济学》(季刊). Through the enhanced new name the journal is reacting to important changes in the research community. Over the last years,Economics of Transition has increasingly received interesting contributions that come from outside the classical transition countries. Moreover,the research agenda of many of our authors has become broader. Beyond the classical questions of transition,the editors perceive a substantial interest for the institutional determinants of economic outcomes,and for the dynamics of institutions. The title change,together with our new Aims and Scope,are a response to these changes,and are designed to keep the journal relevant and to illustrate our continued openness to receive suitable research papers.
