As a unique journal focusing on economic integration, the Journal of Economic Integration (JEI) invites contributions to a special issue on “The COVID-19 and Economic Integration”. JEI is indexed in SCOPUS, ESCI, and KCI and aims to contribute to resolving common problems in all areas of economic integration.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new economic challenges to policymakers and researchers. As a new paradigm is emerging in many areas of economics, we urgently need academic research to understand the impact of the pandemic. We would welcome research papers related to COVID-19 and economic integration.

- The accepted papers will be given special consideration for the JEI’s best article award which provides a cash prize of around 3,000 USD.
- All papers will be subject to the journal’s standard double-blind review procedure, while editors will pay attention to expedite all the processes until final acceptance.
- Papers not accepted for the special issue may be considered for publication in a regular issue.
- The authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work at the online panel meeting held by the Journal of Economic Integration.
- Please ensure that you select this special issue from the relevant drop-down menu in our submission system (https://www.e-jei.org) and follow all the Journal’s submission guidelines.

Thank you for your attention.
