The Journal of Economic Literature is a peer-reviewed academic journal, published by the American Economic Association, that surveys the academic literature in economics. It was established by Arthur Smithies in 1963 as the Journal of Economic Abstracts,[1][2] and is currently one of the highest ranked journals in economics.[3] As a review journal, it mainly features essays and reviews of recent economic theories (as opposed to the latest research). The editor-in-chief is Steven Durlauf.[1] In January 2022, the AEA announced that David Romer would become the editor beginning in July 2022.
The journal originated a widely used classification system for publications in the field of economics.
