Pacific Economic Bulletin (1986-2010)

The Pacific Economic Bulletin was published by the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University between 1986 and 2010 and was supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). In 2011 it was incorporated into Asia and the Pacific Policy Studies. It was a fully refereed journal, with all published articles undergoing a double-blind review process. The Bulletin covered issues relating to economics, governance and policy making in the Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea. There were 3 issues per year with every issue carrying at least one survey of a regional economy - Papua New Guinea, Fiji and other island economies. The papers generated at each annual conference made up the bulk of the papers published in the third issue each year.
