The Review of Economics and Statistics is a peer-reviewed academic journal that covers applied economics, with specific relevance to the scope of econometrics. The editors-in-chief are Will Dobbie (Harvard University) and Raymond Fisman (Boston University).
History
The journal, founded initially as The Review of Economic Statistics at Harvard University in 1917, published its official “inaugural volume” in 1919. The journal obtained its current title in 1948.
As the first editor-in-chief, Charles J. Bullock remarked in his Prefatory Statement to the first issue that "the purpose of the Review is to promote the collection, criticism, and interpretation of economic statistics, with a view to making them more accurate and valuable than they are at present for business and scientific purposes."
