Review of World Economics

Review of World Economics is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to international economics. The publication is issued quarterly by Springer on behalf of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. Its subject coverage includes international trade, international finance, currency systems and exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policy, economic development, and technological growth. The journal has a long publishing history. It was established in 1913 under the German title Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv, a name that reflected its original focus on the documentation and analysis of the world economy. The journal is described as the first periodical established specifically around international economics. Its historical archive therefore spans major changes in the field, including the development of modern trade theory, changes in international monetary arrangements, postwar economic reconstruction, globalization, and the increasing importance of technology in growth and trade. The publication adopted the English title Review of World Economics in 2003. The change represented a clearer international presentation while preserving continuity with the earlier journal and its archive. Historical volumes remain associated with the former title, while newer volumes are published under the Review of World Economics name. The journal's online presence is hosted by Springer, and its back catalogue includes digitized material from both the earlier German-titled period and the later English-titled period. As a specialist economics journal, its principal offering is scholarly research rather than consumer products. Articles are intended for economists, researchers, policy analysts, and academic institutions interested in cross-border economic activity and related policy questions. The journal's scope connects empirical and theoretical work on trade and finance with broader questions concerning monetary institutions, fiscal policy, development, exchange rates, and technological change. The journal has also been included in bibliometric assessments. A 2017 Journal Citation Reports entry cited in reference material assigned it an impact factor of 1.383 and placed it 18th among 85 publications in the cited International Relations category. Such metrics describe citation performance during a particular reporting period and do not constitute a permanent measure of the journal's scholarly standing. No current editor, ownership structure beyond its publishing arrangement, headquarters, or current bibliometric indicators are specified in the available reference material.

Review of World Economics traces its origins to 1913, when it was founded under the name Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv. Its establishment came at a time when international economic relations were becoming a distinct area of academic inquiry. The journal was created with an explicit focus on the world economy and is described in reference material as the first journal devoted to international economics. For much of its early and middle history, the publication operated under its German title. The name Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv signaled an archival and analytical approach to international economic affairs. Over time, the journal's subject matter developed alongside the economics discipline. Its areas of interest came to include international trade, international finance, exchange rates and currency systems, monetary and fiscal policy, economic development, and technological growth. These topics cover both the institutions governing cross-border economic activity and the consequences of international integration for economies and societies. The journal's historical record extends across successive phases of the global economy, including the interwar period, the postwar reconstruction era, changing international monetary systems, and the expansion of global trade and finance. The available source material does not identify individual editors, detailed editorial policies, or specific landmark articles, so those aspects cannot be described reliably here. It does, however, establish the continuity of the title and its enduring specialization in international economics. In 2003, the publication was renamed Review of World Economics. The English-language title made the journal's international orientation more immediately apparent and distinguished its contemporary presentation from the earlier German title. The change did not represent the creation of a new journal; rather, it marked a new naming phase in the history of the existing publication. Earlier material remains catalogued under Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv, while later issues appear under Review of World Economics. The journal is published by Springer on behalf of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. It is issued quarterly and is distributed through an academic publishing and library infrastructure. Springer hosts the journal's current online information and provides access to more recent volumes, while historical content is represented in digitized archives. Reference material identifies Springer as the publisher and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy as the organization on whose behalf the journal is published; it does not provide enough information to establish a separate corporate owner or a legal headquarters for the journal itself. The publication has been assessed through citation metrics, including a 2017 Journal Citation Reports impact factor of 1.383 and a cited ranking of 18th out of 85 in the International Relations category. These figures relate to a specific reporting year and should not be treated as current data. Overall, the journal's historical identity rests on the combination of exceptional longevity, an early and sustained specialization in international economics, continuity between its German and English titles, and its role within the Springer and Kiel Institute publishing relationship.
