RED, special issue

In the first quarter of 2024, the Revue d'Economie du Développement will publish a special issue gathering a selection of short papers based on accepted contributions from the ICDE 2023 that took place in Paris from July 3rd to July 4th, 2023. In the spirit of the AEA Papers and Proceedings, expected contributions are essentiallshortened versions of presented papers, but can also provide extension of or shed light on an aspect that has been left out of the full-length paper. The objective of this special issue is to provide an overview of current research in development economics as given by presentations made during the conference.
 
Such short paper publications are not a substitute for the publication of the full-length paper in peer-reviewed journals, but rather shall be regarded as a complement. The publication in the special issue can be seen as a way to promote your own research to a large audience of researchers interested in development economics issues. Papers can be submitted either in English or in French and will be published in both English and French.
 
 
Schedule
 
The deadline for submission is September 15, 2023, through the website https://red.manuscriptmanager.net. While submitting your paper, please make sure that you choose « International Conference on Development Economics, Special Issue » for the type of submission. Authors will receive a notice of decision (either accept or reject) no later than November 30, 2023. Only minor modifications will potentially be demanded by editors. The online publication of the special issue is scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.

Questions
 
1) May the paper be submitted if it was not presented during the conference?
 
Only papers that were accepted for the conference are eligible for this special issue. It is still possible to submit if the paper was accepted, but the author finally could not attend the conference.
 
2) Will the publication of the paper in the special issue prevent the publication of the full-length paper in a peer-reviewed journal?
 
If you carefully respect the guidelines and avoid self-plagiarism, the publication in the special issue should not induce a risk of rejection for your full-length paper in a peer-reviewed journal (including the Revue d'Economie du Développement). Nevertheless, we do not have any formal agreement with any peer-reviewed journal on this specific point.
 
3) Whom should I contact if I have questions?
 
You can contact any member from the Editorial Committee of this special issues if you need additional information.
