The Manchester School

"If a school of thought really exists at Manchester to-day, we do well to insist that it is a school of method and not of dogma, of research and not of conclusions. "

T.S. Ashton (1930), The Origin of "The Manchester School”, Vol. 1, Issue 2, pp. 22-27.

The Manchester School was first published in 1930 and has become a distinguished, internationally recognised, general economics journal. It is still edited from the Economics Department at The University of Manchester and is published by Wiley-Blackwell.

Every volume of The Manchester School incorporates five regular issues, one special issue devoted to a particular theme and a further special supplement containing selected papers from Money, Macroeconomics and Finance Study Group Conference.

Aims & Scope:
The Editors wish to attract submissions of high quality research covering all areas of the economics discipline and encourage the submission of original contributions, or authoritative surveys, in the fields of microeconomics (including industrial organisation and game theory), macroeconomics, econometrics (both theory and applied) and labour economics.

Consistent with the strategic aim of enhancing the international standing of the journal to a general economics readership, we will only consider publishing manuscripts that make a significant contribution from either a theoretical or empirical perspective, in terms of originality, rigour and reach. In particular, we do not wish to publish manuscripts which replicate existing results and/or are limited in scope/applicability and thus more suitable to regional and/or specialised field journals.

Further information:
Past contents, early on-line and and guidelines for authors can be found on the WILEY-BLACKWELL website

Electronic Submission ONLY:
The Manchester School employs Manuscript Central, the electronic editorial office.

All submissions to the journal must now be made via the online electronic editorial office. Full instructions and a help facility are available at the MANC Manuscript Central™ site.

Please note that, before embarking on a full refereeing process, the Editorial Board assesses each new submission with a view to its potential for publication in The Manchester School.
