history

After initially the European Economic Review (EER), published by Elsevier , had been the official journal of the European Economic Association since 1986 , the Journal of the European Economic Association was created in 2003 to specifically fulfill this role. The reason for terminating the contract with Elsevier and switching to JEEA as the EEA's official journal was, on the one hand, dissatisfaction with the fact that the EEA was not the owner of the EER and, on the other hand, the purchase price of the EER determined by Elsevier, which many EEA members considered to be entitled to felt highly. The publication of the JEEA was initially transferred to the publishing house MIT Press , but was transferred to Wiley-Blackwell in 2011 . The first editor-in-chief of the JEEA was Xavier Vives, whose office Fabrizio Zilibotti took over in 2009.
