Welcome to The Pre-Doctorate Journal of Development Economics (PJDE).

The PJDE aims to be the premier refereed development economics journal featuring the academic work of undergraduates, masters students, and PhD students.

Higher education as we know it makes students jump through many hurdles before publication. The PJDE provides a venue for students* to present constructive arguments and opinions, while their creativity and idealism is still intact.

Both on-line and in-print, our first issue will be released to the public in September 2003. In the meantime, papers submitted for publication will be posted on-line for your reading pleasure.

Important Information

Submission Deadlines are as follows:

• First Round - May 10, 2003
• Second Round - September 1, 2003

The best paper will be rewarded with a 100 dollar donation to the Non-Government Organization of their choice.

We hope that you will find this a valuable and thought-provoking service.
