A learned society advancing research at the intersection of modern economics and regional economics — and the policy questions that live between the two.
The Society for Economic and Regional Policy Interactions exists to advance research where modern economics and regional economics meet, and to apply that research to real policy questions.
As an academic society, we are the responsible body behind our journal: we own and govern the publication, uphold its ethical standards, and protect its editorial independence and long-term continuity — independent of any single individual.
We are building a community of scholars across institutions and countries who share an interest in how regions, economies, and policy shape one another.
Maintain a rigorous, transparent, peer-reviewed journal bridging economic and regional policy research.
Bring scholars together through seminars, working papers, and — in time — conferences and special issues.
Champion research integrity, ethical publishing, and open scholarship across everything we do.
Distinguished scholars advising on the Society's academic direction and standards.
Advisory appointments in progress.
