# World Bank Economic Review (world-bank-economic-review)
## Journal positioning
The World Bank Economic Review is one of the World Bank's flagship economics journals, focused on empirical, policy-relevant development economics for a development-policy audience. It publishes micro and macro development research whose results inform real policy choices in low- and middle-income countries — the contribution is judged on both econometric credibility and policy salience. The readership is development economists and policy analysts, including inside the Bank and other development institutions, so the paper must be rigorous economics and clearly relevant to development practice.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Oxford University Press / journal site and the submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names WBER as the target venue.
- A development-economics paper has credible empirics and a clear policy reading, and the author is choosing between WBER and a generalist or field venue.
- A general applied paper needs re-framing around a development-policy question and audience.
- The author needs WBER's desk-reject risks and a credible development / field alternative list.
