The journal is organized to give as much attention as possible to the published papers. Each is presented on its own, without introduction or post-script, with the expectation that the initial quality of the paper and editorial rigor have together resulted in something that can stand on its own.
We have reprinted papers from Thomas Peake (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Luis Lei (Sarah Lawrence College), Maheen Iqbal (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Judy Qiu (Mt. Holyoke), and Jonathan Berke (University of Massachusetts, Amherst). They cover regional craft beer brewing patterns, Brazilian social welfare, the political economy of dam building, pensions in China, and compensation schemes. With the quality and variety of papers submitted, we had no difficulty assembling a diverse list of papers to present.
We’re honored to present to you the inaugural edition of the Massachusetts Undergraduate Journal of Economics.
