The Journal of Development Economics (JDE) is the field flagship for development economics, publishing the most consequential micro-development work and the growth-and-institutions questions of low- and middle-income economies. The paper that wins here pairs a first-order development question with credible identification — an RCT, a natural experiment, or a structural model — in a low/middle-income setting, and draws a lesson that travels beyond the one context. The readership is development economists who care about poverty, growth, and policy in the developing world.
