" Econ Journal Watch is just about the only journal that I read as soon as a new issue comes out. The articles are insightful, important, and fun to read.  Dan Klein is one of the great intellectual entrepreneurs of economics, and EJW is one of his best products. "

Bryan Caplan
Professor of Economics, George Mason University


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.

Econ Journal Watch has been selected for coverage in the following indices and databases:

  • Thomson ISI's Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)/Web of Science and Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences
