Indonesian Economics and Finance Insights (IEFI) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that advances the theoretical and empirical understanding of economics and finance, with a particular emphasis on the Indonesian landscape and emerging markets.
Focus
Our primary focus is to serve as a robust platform for academicians, researchers, professionals, and policymakers to disseminate original findings, critical reviews, and analytical perspectives that address contemporary economic challenges and financial developments. We aim to bridge the gap between economic theory and applied financial practices.
Scope
The scope of the journal encompasses, but is not strictly limited to, the following core areas:
- Macroeconomics & Monetary Policy: Inflation, economic growth, central banking operations, and exchange rate dynamics.
- Microeconomics & Industrial Organization: Market structure, consumer behavior, pricing strategies, and firm-level performance.
- Corporate Finance & Governance: Capital structure, investment decisions, dividend policy, mergers & acquisitions, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors.
- Public Finance & Fiscal Policy: Taxation, government expenditure, public debt management, and regional autonomy finance.
- Financial Markets & Institutions: Banking stability, capital market efficiency, financial technology (Fintech) innovations, and systemic risk management.
- Development & Regional Economics: Poverty alleviation, income inequality, labor economics, and sustainable economic development models.
The editorial board welcomes both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, provided the manuscripts offer robust empirical evidence, strong theoretical grounding, and clear, actionable policy implications.
