《公共選擇》是一本同行評(píng)議的期刊，研究經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)和政治學(xué)之間的交叉。該雜志在促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家和政治科學(xué)家之間的交流方面發(fā)揮了核心作用，使兩個(gè)社區(qū)能夠相互解釋和學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)方的觀點(diǎn)。這本雜志的根基是將經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)方法應(yīng)用于政治科學(xué)家通常處理的問題。雖然它保留了經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)方法論的有力痕跡，但目前它也處理了經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家所不研究的新發(fā)展的、有效的技術(shù)。

Public Choice is a peer-reviewed journal that studies the intersection between economics and political science. The journal plays a central role in fostering exchange between economists and political scientists, enabling both communities to explain and learn from each other’s perspectives.This journal’s roots are in the application of economic methods to problems normally dealt with by political scientists. While it retains strong traces of economic methodology, currently it also addresses newly developed, effective techniques that are not within the domain of economists.
