The AJRC publishes the AJRC Working Papers, previously the Asia Pacific Economic Papers. This series contains the latest research and analysis from the AJRC and affiliated scholars. While the working paper series focuses on Japan’s economic development, it also features issues on the political economy, regional integration and trade. The series aims to provide a forum for the exchange of topical research which is disseminated to a specialised audience of researchers and libraries throughout the world. AJRC Working Papers are published in freely accessible online form on this website as well as on online repositories including RePEc and SSRN.
Previously the AJRC published the Asia Pacific Economic Papers (APEP) on behalf of the Crawford School. This series has now been replaced by the AJRC Working Paper Series, but old papers are still available via RePEc.
