Dear Colleagues,

Since the publication of Goldman Sachs' BRIC report in 2001, the dispute over the importance of so-called developing emergent countries versus supposedly developed countries in driving global commerce has gained traction. A second wave of nations, the MINTs (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey), have also been identified as in need of consideration. At the same time, the fallout from the 2008 global financial crisis has led to the questioning of many traditional economic orthodoxies. Furthermore, geopolitical factors, combined with concerns about oil, water, and fuel security, have created critical questions about policy, future strategy, and the benefits and drawbacks of globalisation. It is apparent that such a shifting economic dynamic necessitates novel approaches to the formation of policies assessing macroeconomic stability and the development of strategies by enterprises of all sizes. Multinational corporations and small and medium-sized businesses will collaborate to develop survival, competition, and growth strategies. Both governments and corporations face significant pressure to perform and deliver. In this case, alternative, maybe radical, policies and methods must be developed and presented to decision-making authorities. New technologies, shifting demographics, and the need to meet the expectations of numerous stakeholders ensure that policymakers and practitioners face difficult times.

The International Conference on Restructuring of the Global Economy (ROGE) seeks to provide a valuable opportunity to extend our horizons and address various themes linked to business, finance, micro-econometrics, game theory, financial institutions and economic development.

This Special Issue will feature original research papers on all aspects of contemporary financial econometrics, microeconomic theory, agent-based models, risk management, financial institutions  and mathematical methods in economics and finance, among other topics. This Special Issue will emphasize quantitative or analytical work that is fresh and timely. Contributions should provide constructive ideas and analysis, emphasising the lessons to be learnt from the experiences of other nations, civilisations, and economies. The analysis should be challenging and at the forefront of current thinking. However, articles should be written in non-technical language so that people outside of the linked disciplines may understand them.
