Qje is the top Journal, the rest are top 5's
QJE more valuable than other top 5 now
-
In terms of quality and IQ, Restud easily dominates the QJE.
There is too much inbreeding in the QJE.The only reason to refer to “top 5” is that Restud can then be included in a group with AER, Ecta, JPE and QJE. And no serious person sees QJE as better than AER, JPE and Ecta even if QJE authors are more inclined to work on popular topics.
-
no other journal is touching qje right now imo. these papers are all in the current issue.
