Lecturas de Economía is edited by the Centro de Investigaciones Económicas -CIE- and by the Faculty of Economics Sciences Department of Economics at the Universidad de Antioquia. Since 1980 these institutions have supported and projected the journal both nationally and internationally so that it could reach a broader readership. In consequence, these efforts have led it to publish not only in Spanish but also in English and French. The journal is published twice a year.
