About IJMRE

Advancing knowledge at the intersection of markets, regulation and ethics

An open-access, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research across economics, law, business, and applied ethics.

Our Mission

What IJMRE stands for

IJMRE was founded on a simple conviction: that research at the boundary of markets, regulatory frameworks, and ethics is too important to be locked behind paywalls.

We publish original empirical and theoretical research advancing our collective understanding of how markets operate, how regulation shapes behaviour, and how ethical frameworks guide decisions in commerce, finance, and governance.

We are committed to rigorous peer review, editorial independence, publication ethics, and the broadest possible dissemination of knowledge.

Open Access

Every article is permanently free to read, download, and share. No subscriptions, no embargoes.

Rigour

Double-blind peer review by subject-matter experts. Acceptance based on academic merit alone.

Integrity
