The eighteenth volume of the Journal of Government and Economics (JGE) was released in the summer of 2025, with articles exploring a variety of topics in the emerging field of government and economics. Cece Cherif Delamou explores the role of tariffs in addressing the Dutch Disease effect in resource-rich developing economies, wherein resource exports adversely impact domestic industrial activity. Gábor Gulácsi and Ádám Kerényi examine the complex interplay of factors that have shaped Hungary’s economic trajectory within the European Union, focusing on two distinct periods: before 2010 and 2010-2023. J. Kevin Corder applies the Taylor rule to examine the partisan politics of monetary policy choices in the United States and draws inferences about its historical influence on Federal Reserve responses. Yiwen Peng and Weihua Yu utilize a spatial difference-in-difference method to investigate how supporting policy affects carbon performance in “resource-exhausted cities” across China. Mohammad Aref Ibrahim analyzes the determinants of remittance inflows into the Palestinian territories within the framework of chronic political conflict and economic volatility.
