History
The first issue of the Journal of Demographic Economics appeared in March 2015, but its history can go back as far as 1928. Journal of Demographic Economics was born after the Institute of Economic and Social Research decided to transform its publication Recherches Économiques de Louvain – Louvain Economic Review into an international journal focusing on demographic economics. Louvain Economic Review was a non-specialized academic journal of economics and published papers in French and English. The first issue of Recherches économiques de Louvain – Louvain Economic Review was published in February 1961 and its last issue was published in December 2014. Before 1961, the institute of Economic and social research had another publication called “Bulletin de l’Institut des Sciences Économiques”. The first issue of Bulletins de l’Institut des Sciences Économiques was published in December 1929. The first editorial was signed by Paul van Zeeland.
