IJEBR addresses economics/business issues that are clearly applicable to private profit-making entities and/or to public policy institutions. It considers all aspects of economics and business, including those combining business and economics with other fields of inquiry. IJEBR, unlike its sister title, Global Business and Economics Review, does not require that authors write papers about the impact/implications of, "globalisation". Instead, it publishes papers with local, national, regional and international implications. IJEBR is sponsored by the Business and Economics Society International.
IJEBR is an Open Access-only journal and article processing charges (APCs) apply.
Topics covered include
- Business studies, ethics
- Education issues, entrepreneurship, electronic markets
- Services, strategic alliances
- Microeconomics
- Behavioural and health economics

- Macroeconomics
- Financial markets, investment theories, banking
- International economics, FDI
- Economic development, system dynamics
- Environmental studies, urban issues, emerging markets
- Empirical studies, quantitative/experimental methods

The findings reveal a strong, and perhaps not surprising, positive correlation between how conducive a country's business environment is to start-ups and the number of such active businesses [...]
