JEPP: Journal Ekonomi Pembangunan dan Perencanaan is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the forefront of development economics, regional planning, and public policy. Positioned at the critical intersection of macroeconomic growth theories, spatial economics, and socio-economic development, the journal serves as a premier scholarly forum for academic economists, urban and regional planners, public policymakers, and demographic analysts worldwide. JEPP prioritizes macro-level structural evaluations, rigorous econometric analyses, and innovative planning frameworks that address the complexities of poverty alleviation, income inequality, and sustainable economic growth. By bridging classical economic development theories with actionable regional planning policies, the journal fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of how fiscal strategies, institutional reforms, and spatial dynamics drive sustainable transformation in developing and emerging economies.

Scope and Topics

The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical policy reviews, and empirical case studies that offer significant contributions to the following thematic areas:

  • Economic Development & Growth Strategies: Macroeconomic modeling, structural transformation, industrialization policies, international trade impacts on developing nations, and the political economy of development.

  • Regional, Urban & Spatial Economics: Regional economic disparities, urban agglomeration, rural development strategies, spatial econometrics, and infrastructure planning.

  • Public Economics & Fiscal Policy: Taxation and public expenditure analysis, decentralization and local autonomy, public debt management, and the economic evaluation of public goods.

  • Labor, Demographics & Social Economics: Human capital development, labor market dynamics, poverty alleviation strategies, income distribution, migration, and the economics of health and education.

  • Sustainable Development & Resource Economics: The economics of climate change, natural resource management, sustainable development goals (SDGs), circular economy planning, and agricultural economics.

Publication Frequency

To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of cutting-edge economic and planning research, JEPP is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on urgent global economic crises, significant national policy shifts, or post-disaster regional recovery planning may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process

JEPP enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, analytical objectivity, and empirical validity.

  • Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Subject Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundness, and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.

  • Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established academic experts or senior practitioners in the specific domain of development economics or regional planning.

  • Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the intellectual merit, econometric rigor, and practical applicability of the work to public policy and planning.

Mission Statement

The mission of JEPP is to deconstruct socio-economic disparities and catalyze equitable, sustainable development pathways within a rapidly evolving global economy. Grounded in the philosophy that robust economic planning, inclusive public policies, and sustainable resource management are the absolute anchors for national resilience and human prosperity, the journal aims to democratize advanced economic knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for global scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and rigorous methodological approaches—encompassing quantitative macroeconomic modeling, spatial data analysis, and qualitative institutional evaluations—JEPP seeks to empower public administrators, inspire economic scholars, and shape future-proof, evidence-based development policies worldwide.
