The Journal of Private Enterprise is a quarterly double blind peer reviewed academic journal published by The Association of Private Enterprise Education. The Journal of Private Enterprise brings together scholars in such fields as economics, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, ethics, religion, and education who have done research on topics pertaining to systems of private enterprise worldwide. The journal is listed in ABI/INFORM-ProQuest, Cabell’s, Cengage/ThomsonGale, EBSCO, EconLit, the Journal of Economic Literature, Public Affairs Information Service, Research Papers in Economics (RePEc), and Urlich’s.

Since its founding in 1985, the Journal of Private Enterprise has become an important forum for scholarship in private enterprise. It has developed a rich mix of contributors ranging from Nobel Prize winners to promising younger scholars, spanning the full range of areas where private enterprise applies, including economics, entrepreneurship, public policy, history, religion, and philosophy. The importance of spreading economic freedom throughout the world motivated the Journal to expand its international readership. Today the Journal has print subscriptions in two dozen countries on five continents.

The Journal invites submissions for a small fee; papers presented at The Association of Private Enterprise Education (APEE) conference receive a waiver. A subscription to the Journal is included with membership in the Association of Private Enterprise Education. Individual and library subscriptions without APEE membership are available for $24 per year.
