About this journal

Among the top-caliber journals in microeconomics and policy, The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy is an established alternative to overpriced economics journals. It fills the need for quick publication of cutting-edge research, 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. Articles use microeconomics to analyze issues in business, consumer behavior, and public policy, with practical implications for areas such as antitrust policy, pollution, health, education, trade, taxation, labor, and 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), Kyle Bagwell (Columbia), Peter Diamond (MIT), Ed Leamer (UCLA), R. Glenn Hubbard (Columbia), John List (Chicago), Jon Gruber (MIT), John Morgan (Berkeley), Katherine Baicker (Harvard), Casey Mulligan (Chicago), Joel Waldfogel (Penn), Harvey Rosen (Princeton), and Daniel Rubinfeld (Berkeley).

F.A.C.T. stands for Frontiers, Advances, Contributions, and Topics, the BEJEAP tiers, top to bottom.

The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy is indexed in AGRICOLA, Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences, EconLit, IBSS, Intute, PAIS International, RePEc, Scopus, and Social Science Citation Index (Thomson/ISI).
