Croatian Economic Survey is an English-language, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Institute of Economics, Zagreb in Croatia and financed by the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education. The journal aims to serve as a forum for academics and practitioners by publishing high-quality research papers on topics in all areas of economics. Special focus is given to post-socialist Europe. Comparative studies are especially encouraged, since these countries share a similar socio-economic background and comparative studies offer a valuable source of insight for policy formulation as well as a basis for competitive benchmarking. The journal welcomes empirical and policy-oriented papers relevant to a broader international audience. Contributions need not be limited solely to economics; submissions from other related disciplines are encouraged.

Papers published in Croatian Economic Survey are listed in the AEA (American Economic Association) indexes included in JEL on CD, e-JEL, and EconLit as well as ABI/INFORM, DOAJ, EBSCO, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS), RePEc, SCOPUS, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI WoS), and Hrčak - Portal of scientific journals of Croatia.
