Quarterly Journal of Economics

The Quarterly Journal of Economics, or QJE, is an economics journal published by the MIT Press and edited at Harvard University's Department of Economics. Its current editors are Robert J. Barro, Elhanan Helpman and Lawrence F. Katz. The QJE is the oldest professional journal of economics in the English language, and covers all aspects of the field—from the journal's traditional emphasis on microtheory, to both empirical and theoretical macroeconomics. It is one of the most prestigious journals in economics.^[1]
