About RHE-JILAEH

Beginning in 2006, La Revista de Historia Económica, the leading journal in economic history in Spanish, is launching a new forum for academic debate among economic historians, specifically those interested in Iberian and Ibero-American historical economics.

Under the new name, Revista de Historia Económica Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History (RHE-JILAEH), we intend to bring together and internationalize the ongoing national debates in Iberian and Latin American economic history, providing incentives to place these regions in a more global perspective with international comparisons.
