Malaysian Journal of Economic Studies

The flagship publication of MEA is its journal, the Malaysian Journal of Economic Studies (MJES). This journal was first published in June 1964 as the Kajian Ekonomi Malaysia. The name of the journal was changed to the current title in 1988. MJES is published twice a year in June and December by MEA in collaboration with the Faculty of Economics & Administration (FEA), University of Malaya. A key objective of MJES is to promote publication of original research related to the Malaysian economy. Articles published cover a wide range of topics. They include papers on conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues in economics; and applied economics studies worldwide. From time to time, special issues are published as festschriften, or in commemoration of a signal event. An example is Volume 53 No. 1 (June 2016) which marks the 50th anniversary of FEA.
