About this journal

The Journal of Economics and Statistics (Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik) is a scientific journal published in Germany since 1863. The journal publishes papers in all fields of economics and applied statistics. A specific focus is on papers combining theory with empirical analyses. Papers providing conclusions for economic policy in Europe are particularly welcome. Nevertheless, distinguished papers dealing exlusively with economic theory, empirical models, or economic history, will not be excluded from consideration.

The editors invite replication studies focusing on the robustness of empirical findings. The section Data Observer presents articles on data sets available for empirical research and institutions providing research data. The journal also publishes special issues, short comments, and book reviews. All freely accessible contributi ons, including the Data Observer articles, can be found via the website's article search functionality.

Journal of Economics and Statistics now also at Bluesky.

The 2023 Best Paper Award goes to

"Political Ignorance and the Internet"

by Irene Bertschek (Justus-Liebig-University Gießen) and David F. Müller (University of Mannheim), published in volume 243(1), 3-28 and available in open access here.
Congratulations to the a uthors!

Subscribe to Open

Since 2023, the Journal of Economics and Statistics is being transferred to Gold Open Access on a year-by-year basis. All articles thus immediately appear under the Creative Commons license CC BY. There are no publication costs for the authors.

The Open Access transformation is based on Subscribe to Open, an alternative model that enables the full Open Access transformation of journals through the continuation of existing subscriptions. The prerequisite for successful transformation is that subscriptions are continued to the same extent as before. The editors of the Journal of Economics and Statistics and the publisher De Gruyter would therefore like to thank all subscribers for their support, which has made the transformation to Open Access possible.
