About this Journal
The Economists' Voice, edited by Aaron Edlin and Joseph Stiglitz, recipient of the 2001 Nobel Prize for Economics, together with Jonathan Carmel, J. Bradford DeLong, William Gale, James Hines and Jeffrey Zwiebel, is the decade's most successful publishing innovation for professional economists. It was shortlisted for Best New Journal in the 2007 ALPSP/Charlesworth Awards. Its short, focused policy articles fill a gap between the op-ed pages of the newspaper and full-length journal articles. Contributors include seven Nobel Prize winners, five past chairs of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, public intellectuals like Paul Krugman and Richard Posner, and a veritable "Who's Who" of modern economic theory and policy. The Economists' Voice is a source of expertise directed at once at the professional economist, policy makers, students, and anyone curious about the economy today. Articles from The Economists' Voice have been prominently featured on the Op-Ed pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post, Salon.com, The Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch.com, and distributed by Project Syndicate to newspapers around the world.

What scholars are saying about The Economists' Voice
Thank goodness for The Economists' Voice! In the midst of current financial events, the excellent and timely writing contained in this journal is always right on the spot.
William Gale, Vice President and Director, Economic Studies Program, The Brookings Institution
This publication proposes up-to-date coverage of fundamental economic and social problems at the world-wide level in a very concise way and written by the most knowledgeable experts in the field. This should be extremely useful for both faculty and students to keep in touch with current debates, be used in the class, and as reference material for term papers.
Jean-Marie Grether, Professor of International Economics, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland
The writing is accessible to students and non-economists like me, and the journal addresses topics of wide interest rather than the very specialized audiences that most economics journals address.
Andrew Bennett, Professor of Government, Georgetown University
Sadly, the world contains an abundance of non-rigorous and thus questionable policy analysis, on the one hand, and policy-irrelevant, albeit rigorous, academic writing, on the other. The Economist's Voice, unusually, combines rigor and relevance - the best of both worlds.
Kevin Quinn, Professor of Economics, Bowling Green State University
The articles are accessible to non-economists, and are ideal for helping students see how economic thinking can be applied to current issues in which they are likely to have an interest.
Leslie E. Small, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics, Rutgers University
I read The Economists' Voice cover to cover. I bet many others do as well.
George R. Parsons, Professor of Economics and Program Director, Marine Policy, University of Delaware
The Berkeley Electronic Press journals are, I think, the best economics journals for keeping up on current policy. The current issue of The Economists' Voice, for example has articles on the housing bubble, health policy, and government intervention in the economy. The pieces are timely, well researched, and rigorous.
Randy Simmons, Faculty Member Economics and Finance, Utah State University
