History. Ekonomika has a long experience in promoting quality research in economics. The first volume of the journal was published by Vilnius University in 1960, and it has been published consistently since then. For a long period Vilnius University was the only publisher of the journal, which has been the main scientific journal of economics in Lithuania. In 2009 the journal was strengthened through the establishment of a publishing cooperation network with Wroclaw University of Economics (Poland) and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine).
Ekonomika is a journal of comprehensive research aimed at contemporary issues of eco-nomic transformations in Central and Eastern European countries, and emerging econ-omies in other regions undergoing similar economic transformations.
