- Generally each issue of ECONOMIE APPLIQUEE deals with a specific set of questions under headings such as "Balance of Payments,""The Sterling Zone,""Planning and Growth," and "Oligopoly". While most authors are French, there are many noted contributors from other countries with a preponderance of American and British scholars (such as Milton Friedman, P.A. Samuelson, Nicholas Kaldor and others). All articles are in French, but quite a few of them are prefaced by a short summary in English.
