The Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) is an economic journal published by the American Economic Association. The journal was established in 1987.[1] The JEP was founded by Joseph Stiglitz, Carl Shapiro, and Timothy Taylor.[2]
It is oriented around the twin goals of "providing perspective on current economic research, and explaining how economics provides perspective on questions of general interest."[2][3] According to its editors its purpose is:
- to synthesize and integrate lessons learned from active lines of economic research;
- to provide economic analysis of public policy issues; to encourage cross-fertilization of ideas among the fields of thinking;
- to offer readers an accessible source for state-of-the-art economic thinking;
- to suggest directions for future research;
- to provide insights and readings for classroom use;
- and to address issues relating to the economics profession.
Its current editor is Heidi Williams, and its managing editor is Timothy Taylor.
