Aims and Scope
Hasanuddin Economics and Business Review (Hasanuddin Econ. Bus. Rev. – HEBR) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Faculty of Economics and Business, Hasanuddin University, Indonesia. HEBR is issued triannually and publishes high-quality scholarship that advances understanding of economic, business and financial issues, with a strong emphasis on the Indonesian context and its relevance to other developing and emerging market economies.
HEBR welcomes contributions from academics, corporate executives, staff members of research institutions, international organisations, and government officials worldwide, provided submissions meet high scholarly standards and offer clear contributions to knowledge.
The journal accepts quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research designs, as well as systematic evidence syntheses and context-rich case analyses, provided manuscripts demonstrate theoretical clarity, methodological rigour, and transparent reporting. While maintaining an international perspective and welcoming global comparisons, HEBR particularly encourages work that examines phenomena in Indonesia or offers direct implications for Indonesia and comparable developing economies, thereby contributing to both local scholarly discourse and broader global knowledge.
The journal’s thematic coverage is anchored in three pillars, which include Governance and Development, Enterprise and Innovation, and Sustainable Finance. Within these pillars, HEBR particularly welcomes research on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fiscal decentralisation and local autonomy
- Public sector accountability and governance
- Labour market dynamics and human capital development
- The economics of education, health, and social welfare
- Policy evaluations in transitional economies
