" Econ Journal Watch is a leading forum for debates about economic research and the economics profession. It features timely commentary on the discipline's otherwise rarely questioned assumptions. It also scrutinizes data and arguments economists use to reach conclusions. Its most valuable service lies in its willingness to challenge established norms, beliefs, and priorities. It performs these tasks with remarkable impartiality. Authors of critiqued works are given every opportunity to return defenses. It is in just a few years that Econ Journal Watch has placed itself at the center of numerous ongoing debates. I hope that its impressive growth continues and that its coverage of issues expands even further in coming years.  "

Econ Journal Watch
About EJW PDF Print E-mail

EJW Editors and Directors Meet in St. Louis in 2003The electronic triannual Econ Journal Watch publishes Comments on articles appearing in economics journals and serves as a forum about economics research and the economics profession. EJW watches the journals for inappropriate assumptions, weak chains of argument, phony claims of relevance, and omissions of pertinent truths. Pointed, constructive criticism requires an independent forum and an accessible and timely medium. Other material including essays, reflections, investigations, and classic critiques speak to the nature and character of economics. EJW applies theories of failure—market, government, organizational—to the practices and institutions of economists.
