focuses; you don't really have an answer if you want to find a winner
between the best apple in the world and the best orange in the world.

Let me rephrase my question:
Both AER and QJE are generic econ. journals and are regarded as the top ones
in the field. Do you think that AER is more prestigious than QJE? |

specific departments; basically among the top 4 or 5, you really cannot
compare them, they are different but not necessarily rank-able.

发帖数: 21 | 10 The degree of discrimination in economics publishing is very high. It is
difficult for a scholar from low-tier universities to publish at AER. I
have the following story. One scholar used to teach at a top 10 US
university and published at a top journal many times. Later on, he moved to
a lower rank university and could not publish at that top journal any more.
He felt quite upset: he thought his research was improving over time, the
only thing changed is the university he works at. |
