   Top field publication in large field = 3 JUE

   I am NOT doing urban and never published in this journal, but to me, the fields in economics correspond to the jel categories.
   For those I know:
   C Mathematical and Quantitative Methods -> JET
   E Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics -> JME
   F International Economics -> JIE
   G Financial Economics -> JoF
   H Public Economics -> JPubE
   I Health, Education, and Welfare -> JHE
   J Labor and Demographic Economics -> JLE
   K Law and Economics ->JLE
   L Industrial Organization -> Rand
   O Economic Development, Technological Change, and Growth -> JDE
   Q Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics • Environmental and Ecological Economics -> JEEM
   R Urban, Rural, Regional, Real Estate, and Transportation Economics -> JUE
   and all those journals are "top field", and considered as such, when we hire (even tough some fields are well known to be more competitive than others)
   Those of you who have papers there can no-good me all you want but that won't change the fact that Urban is a *very* small field and it isn't *anyone's* first choice for good papers. At a top-100 it would count as a second-tier field journal (1st tier being JPubE.)

   This and similar comments are silly -- top field journals of small fields have lower citations, impact factors, etc. than top field journals of large fields because that's a function of the size of the audience. But it's asinine to suggest that a paper in JHealthE, JUE, JLawEc, JEH, JEEM should have been in the top journal of some other field. If that's your submission strategy, good luck getting published.

   Is JUE as "good" as any other top field in its actual quality? I think so.

   Is a JUE as useful for tenure/promotion as a big field's top journal? Arguably not, but that has more to do with the fact that most departments don't hire urban economists. Condtional on hiring in urban, JUE looks very good.

   There were enough comments on this. Give an example of a JUE paper that would be rejected from JPubE and JoLE for not being in the scope of the journal (but would be a good fit for AER).

   I agree with this.

   I expect more departments will be hiring in urban as there is lots of developments and more pages in top journals. Look at how Redding, Rossi-Hansberg, Duranton and Turner are pubbing. I see urban remaining smaller than large fields, but it will grow more than others.

   You are right. For a pure urban economist JUE is the best top field. However you are also right that most places don't hire pure urban economists. For instance, a lot of public economists (which, luckily for me, schools do hire) end up sending their papers to JUE after a couple of rejections. This means that pure "urban economists" compete for journal space with not-so-good papers from other areas. That's all.

   On C-L JUE is 29, which is pretty good. It is way ahead of EI, which is 67, RSUE is at 69.

   The unmentioned journal so far that also occasionally does urban and regional, although it is more environmental these days, is Land Economics, which is at 65 on C-L, ahead of both EI and RSUE, if not by much. But JUE is clearly the field leader.

    JUE is faring bit better than the average of how it's described in the thread. Mostly because I now have a paper in it, but also because competition in JPUBE or JOLE has become crazy/impossible, so anything that 10 years ago would have made it there, now has a hard time at JUE.
