The main objective of the IBEI Working Papers series is to disseminate academic papers that represent work-in-progress, such as reviews of literature, draft conference papers, draft seminar papers and draft articles. This series is intended to provide an early and relatively fast means of publication prior to further development of the work.

The IBEI Working Papers Editorial Board is composed by all the IBEI Scientific Council members. As well, the Editors of the IBEI Working Papers series are Prof. Juan Díez Medrano (Universitat de Barcelona – IBEI) and Prof. Caterina García (Universitat Pompeu Fabra).
