history

The European Economic Review (EER) was originally created in 1969 by the Association Scientifique Européenne d'Economie Appliquée (ASEPELT) with the aim of creating a joint journal for European economists in order to reduce the division of research into different national publications. Ownership of the EER passed to the publisher, Elsevier . The first editors-in-chief were Herbert Glejser and Jean Waelbroeck, chairman of ASEPELT, before the editorial team was expanded to include Peter Neary and Agnar Sandmo in 1986. By 1994 these had been replaced by François Bourguignon, Francesco Giavazzi, Seppo Honkapohja and Anthony Venables , who in turn were replaced by Zvi Eckstein, Gerard A. Pfann, Thorvaldur Gylfason, Jürgen von Hagen and Esther Gal-Or until 2004 .

The editorial team has consisted of Theo S. Eicher ( University of Washington ), Ayse Imrohoroglu ( University of Southern California ), Eric M. Leeper ( Indiana University Bloomington ), Jörg Oechssler ( Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg ) and Martin Pesendorfer ( London ) since 2013 School of Economics and Political Science ).

From 1986 to 2003 the European Economic Review was the official journal of the European Economic Association (EEA), but this title was transferred to the newly created Journal of the European Economic Association in 2003 due to the dissatisfaction of the EEA with the ownership structure and the prices of Elsevier .

Content

The European Economic Review sees itself as a European publication organ of high-quality research contributions from theoretical and empirical economics . While the EEA does not pursue any specific policy with regard to the content of the journal, high standards are nevertheless placed on the scientific and, in particular, methodological rigor of the articles, which has contributed to a rejection rate of 90% for the proposed articles.

reception

In a study by Kalaitzidakis et al. (2003) ranked 14th out of 159 evaluated publications in the European Economic Review , but slipped in an updated study by Kalaitzidakis et al. (2011) ranked 16th out of 209 publications compared. In the economics publication ranking of the Tinbergen Institute at the University of Amsterdam , the European Economic Review is listed in category A (“very good general economic journals and top journals in the respective subject”). Another study by the French economists Pierre-Phillippe Combes and Laurent Linnemer ranks the journal in 17th place out of all economic journals in the second best category AA.

The Impact Factor of the European Economic Review in 2012 was 1.331. In the statistics of the Social Sciences Citation Index , this impact factor made it 93rd out of 333 journals in the economics category.
