To enhance the academic influence and journal quality of The Journal of Quantitative Economics and support the development of applied economics and high-level academic platforms, the editorial board has launched its first-ever call for young editorial board members.
The recruitment attracted widespread attention, with 193 applications received from 120 universities and research institutions across 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. A dedicated task force was formed to select 53 outstanding young scholars from outside the central institution, including 45 domestic and international institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, and Louisiana State University in the United States.
