The alternative type of economics is microeconomics, where micro unsurprisingly means small.…

Journal of Political Economy Microeconomics (JPE Micro)  We are excited to announce a special issue dedicated to the “Science of Scaling” in the Journal of Political Economy Microeconomics. This special issue aims to advance rigorous, interdisciplinary research on scaling as a scientific endeavor, building on the growing recognition that scaling extends beyond mere policy implementation to encompass fundamental questions about generalizability, benefit-cost analysis, and real-world application of empirical findings.
