Focus and Scope

  • Microeconomics and macroeconomics

  • Economic development and sustainable growth

  • Development economics and planning

  • International trade, investment, and finance

  • Islamic economics and Sharia-compliant finance

  • Public sector economics and governance

  • Fiscal and monetary policy

  • Poverty alleviation and income inequality

  • Rural and regional development

  • Innovation, entrepreneurship, and productivity

  • Labor economics, human capital, and education

  • Financial institutions, markets, and digital finance

  • Environmental and resource economics

  • Economic resilience, crisis, and recovery strategies

IJED particularly welcomes articles that explore development challenges in emerging and developing economies, as well as those that offer policy-relevant insights or practical implications.

The journal publishes research articles, conceptual papers, case studies, and reviews. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer-review process to ensure academic rigor and ethical integrity.
