Journal of Economic Perspectives, Fall 2018

About this book

The Journal of Economic Perspectives fills a gap between the general interest press and most academic economics journals. It offers policymakers, educators, students, and practitioners a trove of well-written and well-chosen analytical essays that focus the lens of economic reasoning on topics across the social sciences. It brings research topics into the mainstream before they appear in refereed journals, and informs and shapes debate on public issues. It further provides readings for classroom use; addresses issues relating to the economics profession; and exposes policymakers, students, and scholars to the power, utility, and beauty of clear economic insight.
