Abstract

This article ranks core journals in economics using the textbook citation method. Rankings are produced from citations in graduate-level microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics textbooks. Textbooks used in the study were chosen through responses from a survey of professors in top-tier economics departments. The top nine journals or core journals from this study correlate closely in rank with the results of two comparison studies. Second-tier journals identified in this study correlate less closely in rank with second-tier journals in comparison studies. Copyright 2002, Oxford University Press.
