Editorial Objectives

The objective of International Journal of Advanced Studies in Economics and Public Sector Management (IJASEPSM) is to publish empirical papers that provide clear analysis of important economic issues. As well as being relevant to academic, professional and student economists, the journal seeks to provide a bridge between those conducting research on service economics and management on the one hand, and those working in the areas of service sectors on the other. It acknowledges the complexity of public sector performance management as an interface between the values placed upon public sector activities and their implementation. This gap between what is desirable and what is feasible stand at the crossing of many public sector issues and the journal advances evidenced based research studies to regulate and promote economic processes and effective public sector management.

Editorial Objectives

The objective of International Journal of Advanced Studies in Economics and Public Sector Management (IJASEPSM) is to publish empirical papers that provide clear analysis of important economic issues. As well as being relevant to academic, professional and student economists, the journal seeks to provide a bridge between those conducting research on service economics and management on the one hand, and those working in the areas of service sectors on the other. It acknowledges the complexity of public sector performance management as an interface between the values placed upon public sector activities and their implementation. This gap between what is desirable and what is feasible stand at the crossing of many public sector issues and the journal advances evidenced based research studies to regulate and promote economic processes and effective public sector management.
