About this Journal
Among the top-caliber journals in microeconomics and policy, with distinguished editors from Boston University, London School of Economics, Michigan State, Paris School of Economics, Stanford, UC Berkeley, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, and Yale, The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy is an established alternative to overpriced economics journals, and fills the need for quick publication of cutting-edge research. Articles use microeconomics to analyze issues in business, consumer behavior, and public policy, with practical implications for areas such as pollution, education, and population growth. Submissions are guaranteed to receive a decision within 10 weeks, and articles are published in four quality-rated tiers distinguished by breadth of appeal and overall quality. Many prominent economists publish their work here, including Elhanan Helpman (Harvard), Torsten Persson (London School of Economics), Eric Rasmusen (Indiana), Roger Hall Gordon (San Diego), Judith Chevalier (Yale), R. Glenn Hubbard (Columbia), John List (Chicago), Jon Gruber (Harvard), John Morgan (Berkeley), Katherine Baicker (UCLA), Casey Mulligan (Chicago), Joel Waldfogel (Penn), Harvey Rosen (Princeton), and Daniel Rubinfeld (Berkeley).

What scholars are saying about The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy
The editorial feedback was excellent. I have never received better comments and suggestions from an editor. I have already recommended The Berkeley Electronic Press journals to my colleagues for their next papers.
Ronnie Schöb, Professor, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg
I appreciated the detailed comments on my paper, from both editor and referees. Rarely have I received such clear recommendations and good advice. I am actually looking forward to revising and resubmitting the paper! The whole experience has been markedly superior to that at more traditional journals.
Alex Tabarrok, Vice President and Director of Research, The Independent Institute
My authoring experience was probably the best to date in terms of speed and efficiency. The quality of the referees was also excellent, as good if not better than anything I've experienced (and that includes the AER, Rand, etcetera).
Mark J. McCabe, Assistant Professor of Economics, Georgia Institute of Technology
The speed with which the process was completed is so much better than the standard for more established journals in economics. We can only hope you are successful in breaking the conventional delays that are so harmful to the professional development of young economists. You have demonstrated that quality peer review and editing can be done in economics in as timely a fashion as it is done in many other disciplines.
Jack Ochs, Professor and Chair of Economics, University of Pittsburgh
The quality of reviewers was very high; I particularly appreciated the ability to send 'blind' queries to my reviewers, which took the guesswork out of responding to their requests. I believe that any journal would benefit incredibly from making this option available to authors.
Raymond Fisman, Meyer Feldberg Associate Professor of Business, Columbia University
The quality of the editors was definitely a consideration in submitting my paper to The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy. However, I like everything about the bepress electronic journals in economics. The time is right for these journals, and the design of the process couldn't be better.
Edgar O. Olsen, Professor of Economics, University of Virginia
