TopEndorsements
A very comprehensive, professional journal by a most historic society, worthy to say: u (EJ) = [u (AER) + u (Econometrica) + u (J. Econ. Lit.)]/3.
Michio Morishima
'The Economic Journal has a very long and probably the most distinguished history of all the professional journals in economics. All-time greats like Edgeworth, Keynes, and Ramsey have edited it and written for it regularly. With its distinguished new team of editors, the journal seems well-placed to continue this great tradition. '
Avinash Dixit, University of Princeton, USA
