The Michigan Journal of Economics (MJE) is a student run newspaper at the University of Michigan inside of the Michigan Department of Economics. Our goal is to provide a cooperative space in which students can work on pieces of writing which broadly relate to the field of Economics. This writing need not be scholarly, but certainly can be. The journal accepts writing which might fall under the broad topics of research, literature review, finance/business, domestic economics, and global economics. MJE accepts new staff writers in the fall and winter terms, but accepts outside submissions as well. MJE was founded due to a desire for students to have a greater ability to write outside of the classroom while engaging in scholarly research and the work that is currently being performed in the field. We at MJE welcome any individual to submit an article – of their own making – for consideration in our publication.
