Review of the Review

The Directors of the Review of Economics Studies asked some senior members of the editorial board to provide a descriptive overview of the publishing record of the journal in comparison with its peers (American Economic Review, Econometrica, Quarterly Journal of Economics and Journal of Political Economy).

The report sheds light on trends in publications, focusing on:

  • the mix of fields of published papers;
