Deep down inside, you and your colleagues know that macro is THE most important area of economics
Say whatever making you feel good. There is no way I can convince my MRM colleagues a JME is more than a filed pub like AEJ, Rand, JET, JoE, JHE, in a tenure case.
In Top 10, I do not think it matters. In non top 40, I guess top 5 and top fields are equally counted.
Finance bros keep telling themselves similar stories. We know macro is the largest field in the US market mainly because of the Fed system keep many macro bros' academic lives. It is unclear to what extent the rest of the profession ever benefits from macro. (to be fair, this applies to every other field.) There are clear negative externality mainly coming from the macro community: arrogance, ignorance, and sometimes sexism.
You mean it is the largest because it is used the most in the real world....C’mon.... BTW, fenance is 10 times more r8cist and s8xist. Fix fenance first.

Feds use labor intense policy reports not macro research. It is adorable to believe the monetary policy has anything to do with 99% macro folks. This is as wonderful as MMT
You know that there are other central banks around the world right? and international orgs like the World Bank, IMF, BIS just to name a few.
after top 5, for a macro paper (depending on style, some of the journals below will not be applicable)
JEEA = REStat > JME = AEJ macro = EJLol at REstat for macro. AEJ macro>=JME>JEEA>=EJ
Nobody I know submits macro to REstat. That's a reg monkey journal.
Restat great for macro, JME going nowhere.
YG took the JME position after serving as an editor for REStat. JME > REStat
