Southern economic journal.

The Southern Economic Journal began as the publication of the Southern Economic Association . The first issue was released in October 1933 under editor Malcolm H. Bryan from editorial offices at the University of Georgia. Publication was soon suspended due to financial difficulties, but was resumed with the October 1935 issue after the Association entered into a joint publication agreement with the University of North Carolina . Beginning with the October 1997 issue, the publication agreement with the University of North Carolina ceased. Jonathan Hamilton of the University of Florida Graduate School of Business became editor, taking over from Vincent Tarascio .

Although the Journal originally was intended to examine Southern economics, over the years its focus shifted from the American South to more general economic topics. A significant proportion of the authors published in the Journal, roughly half, are located in the South.
