Call for Submissions Journal of Housing Economics and Journal of Economic Development in Higher Education

1)      Call for Submissions

Journal of Housing Economics

Special Issue on research related to 'Race and the City'

This special issue will feature research that sheds light on the experiences of minorities in U.S. cities and metropolitan areas.  Given the long history of racial segregation and discrimination that African-Americans have faced in the U.S., we expect that many of the submissions will focus on the experiences of African-Americans in U.S. cities. However, we are also very interested in submissions that examine Latino and Asian populations, especially given the increasing urbanization of Latinos within the U.S. in recent decades. While our own research focuses on contemporary issues, we are open to historical analyses, especially ones that shed light on contemporary discussions and debates. Finally, we also welcome studies that examine the experiences of minority groups in cities and metropolitan areas in other developed, higher income countries around the world.

Papers must be of sufficient analytical rigor to meet the customary standards of the journal. Timeliness is very important, as the editors and the journal seek to limit delays between the acceptance of manuscripts and eventual publication. Submissions should be made before January 31st, 2017 to

http://www.evise.com/evise/faces/pages/navigation/NavController.jspx?JRNL_ACR=JHEC

To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, authors must select the name of the special issue “SI: Race and the City” when they upload their manuscripts. Early submissions will be dealt with promptly.

Special editors are Ingrid Gould Ellen (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and Steve Ross (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Journal of Economic Development in Higher Education

The Journal of Economic Development in Higher Education is the journal of the University Economic Development Association

The Journal of Economic Development in Higher Education is an online, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of university-led economic development. The Journal examines ways in which institutions of higher education foster competitiveness through human capital formation; research and innovation; and quality-of-place strategies that make communities attractive places to live, work, operate businesses, and raise families.

Submissions for Publication:

The Journal encourages articles on new frameworks, theories, or concepts; data-driven research articles; program evaluations; qualitative or quantitative case studies that highlight or analyze the role played by institutions of higher education  and/or opinion pieces in:

•             Promoting economic development, innovation, and entrepreneurship, especially through interdisciplinary initiatives and public-private partnerships;

•             Improving the impact, reach, and applicability of the institution’s research—and improving the impact and reach of other strategic niches of expertise—to enhance institutional and regional competitiveness;

•             Applying basic and applied research to solve an industry’s—or the region’s—most pressing challenges;

•             Leveraging institutional research and other resources to accelerate business formation and growth, develop new products and services, and/or link local businesses to the global economy through foreign investment or trade;

  • Engaging and linking elements of their region’s innovation ecosystem;
  • Developing and implementing solutions to their region’s human capital and workforce needs;
  • Facilitating access by various constituents to information or institutional resources;
  • Stewardship for vibrant regions:
    • Innovative economies,
    • Livable communities,
    • Social inclusion, and
    • Collaborative governance

The journal also seeks submissions addressing the theoretical underpinnings on exactly why and how university-led economic development benefits society.
