Schmollers Jahrbuch: Journal of Contextual Economics is an English-language, peer-reviewed economics and social science journal. It is under the editorship of Peter Boettke (George Mason University), Nils Goldschmidt (University of Siegen), Stefan Kolev (University of Applied Sciences Zwickau), Stephen Ziliak (Roosevelt University) and Joachim Zweynert (Witten/Herdecke University).

The journal, named after Gustav von Schmoller, an influential figure in the Historical school of economics, provides a forum for contextual social science research, focusing on the embeddedness of economic activity within political, social, ecological and cultural settings.

Since its founding in 1871, the journal has been published by Duncker & Humblot. It is published four times a year, including one special issue annually. For the 2016 special issue, the journal (based on von Schmoller's 1881 article "The Idea of Justice in Political Economy") published a series of essays on the same topic.[1] In 2017, the focus was on institutions in development research. The 2018 issue saw the translation into English of previously untranslated seminal works of German socio-economics from 1896 to 1938. The special issue 2019 focused on "Liberalism for the 21st century".
