Special Issue – Sustainability (SSCI, 2019 impact factor 2.576)

Development, Sustainability and Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies

Organized by the Society for the Study of Emerging Markets

Developing and emerging market economies have introduced major reforms in the past decades and experienced significant economic growth. However, the growth patterns have differed among economies, resulting in significant structural changes in economic activity and volatility in both product and financial markets. An important challenge for policy makers in these countries is the ability to sustain economic reforms and maintain a positive, sustainable economic growth trend. Hence sustainability in both product and financial market markets and policies, as well as high and sustainable economic performance is critical to achieve such as a trend.

Guest Editors of Sustainability invite papers dealing with sustainability issues in financial and product markets in developing and emerging market economies. We invite submissions of high quality, empirical and theoretical, papers related to the following topics and key words that include, but are not limited to, following:

  • Urbanization and urban sustainability
  • Financial sustainability and contagion
  • Credit sustainability, banking, and housing
  • Economic development and sustainability
  • COVID-19 epidemics and sustainability in financial and product markets
  • Migration and capital flow sustainability
  • International trade and investment and balance of payments sustainability
  • Public policies and agriculture development
