Journal of Demographic Economics

History

The first issue of the Journal of Demographic Economics appeared in March 2015, but its history can go back as far as 1928. Journal of Demographic Economics was born after the Institute of Economic and Social Research decided to transform its publication Recherches Économiques de Louvain – Louvain Economic Review into an international journal focusing on demographic economics. Louvain Economic Review was a non-specialized academic journal of economics and published papers in French and English. The first issue of Recherches économiques de Louvain – Louvain Economic Review was published in February 1961 [2] and its last issue was published in December 2014. Before 1961, the institute of Economic and social research had another publication called “Bulletin de l’Institut des Sciences Économiques”. The first issue of Bulletins de l’Institut des Sciences Économiques was published in December 1929. [3] The first editorial was signed by Paul van Zeeland.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Solvay Institute of Sociology</span>

The Solvay Institute of Sociology [SIS; Institut de Sociologie Solvay] assumed its first "definitive form" on November 16, 1902, when its founder Ernest Solvay, a wealthy Belgian chemist, industrialist, and philanthropist, inaugurated the original edifice of SIS in Parc Léopold. Under the guidance of its first director, Emile Waxweiler, SIS expressed a "conception of a sociology open to all of the disciplines of the human sciences: ethnology, of course, but also economics [...] and psycho-physiology, contact with which was facilitated by the proximity of the Institute of Physiology". While SIS is now part of the Université Libre de Bruxelles and known more simply as that university's Institute of Sociology [Institut de Sociologie], the approach instigated by Solvay and Waxweiler still serves as methodological framework: a synergy between basic and applied research involving interdisciplinary studies firmly anchored in social life.
