# Journal of Economic Growth (journal-of-economic-growth)
## Journal positioning
The Journal of Economic Growth is the field-defining outlet for the economics of growth and long-run development — growth theory, cross-country and historical empirics, institutions, and the deep determinants of why some economies grow and others stagnate. The paper that wins here engages a first-order growth question with a model, a long-run empirical strategy, or a unified account that connects fundamentals to outcomes over decades or centuries. The readership is growth and development economists who care about mechanisms operating at the level of countries, regions, and very long horizons.
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 publisher's own site or submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names Journal of Economic Growth as the target venue.
- A paper addresses long-run growth, institutions, or cross-country divergence and the author is choosing among growth/development venues.
- A development or macro paper needs re-framing so the growth mechanism over the long run, not a short-run estimate, is the contribution.
- The author needs this venue's desk-reject risks and a credible growth/development alternative list before submitting.
