The International Review of Law and Economics is an academic journal covering the intersection of law and economics. It was established in 1981 by Butterworths and is currently published by Elsevier. The editors-in-chief are Emanuela Carbonara (University of Bologna), Yun-Chien Chang (Academia Sinica), N. Garoupa (Texas A&M University and Católica Global Law School), Eric Helland (Claremont McKenna College), and Jonathan Klick (University of Pennsylvania). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2016 impact factor of 0.570.[1]

In 2021 the journal's peer review process was called into question following an article by John Mark Ramseyer in which the author was accused of drawing from nonexistent contracts and putting forward a denialist position asserting that the comfort women forced into sexual slavery under the Japanese Empire were willing prostitutes.[2][3]
