Burma Economic Watch (BEW) e-journal
Economics Department, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Self-description: "Burma Economic Watch is a periodial that aims to provide up-to-date and reliable data , analysis and commentary on the economy of Burma. Information on the Burmese economy is both difficult to obtain and notoriously unreliable. Comment and analysis is often only scarcely less so. Our aim is to make a modest contribution to improving each, and to encourage informed debate. BEW is produced by an editorial team of scholars devoted to the study of Burma and its economy."
Supplied note: "In a nutshell - what we're doing is converting BEW into a contributory journal, open to all (subject to the refereeing process below) who would like to add to the economic analyses of Burma. Of interest to academic members of our readership, BEW will be a formally refereed journal, with all that implies. Our motivation here is to align the relevant incentives (we are economists after all) - those that pertain to academics' publishing requirements, and ours to put out the best quality commentary we can on Burma's economy. [...] BEW will normally be published twice a year, but irregular issues may also be published. - st."
