Springer, part of Springer Nature, a global research, educational and professional publisher, has announced that it is the new publisher of the Journal of Business Cycle Research, successor to the OECD Journal: Journal of Business Cycle Measurement and Analysis, which the Centre for International Research on Economic Tendency Surveys (CIRET) had previously published with the OECD. CIRET will announce the relaunch of its journal and present issue 1 of the 2016 volume for the first time at its biennial scientific meeting in Copenhagen.
From 2004 to 2015 CIRET had published the journal together with the OECD under the name OECD Journal: Journal of Business Cycle Measurement and Analysis. As of 2016, the journal is part of the Springer program, under a new name and with a clearer focus on academic research. Additional partners in this cooperation, beyond CIRET, are the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at the ETH Zurich as well as the Fundação Getúlio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro.
The Journal of Business Cycle Research promotes the exchange of knowledge and research on theoretical and empirical aspects related to the short- and medium-term macroeconomic environment in which economic agents operate. It also presents technical reports on the latest economic indicators and forecasting methodologies employed by leading institutions in advanced and emerging economies.
With regard to the new focus of the journal, Michael Graff from the ETH Zurich, will continue to serve as Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
