The Quarterly Journal of Economics, or QJE, is an economics journal published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and edited at Harvard University's Department of Economics. Its current editors are Robert J. Barro, Edward L. Glaeser and Lawrence F. Katz. The QJE is the oldest professional journal of economics in the English language, and covers all aspects of the field—from the journal's traditional emphasis on microtheory, to both empirical and theoretical macroeconomics.
Some of the most influential and well-read papers in economics have been published in the QJE, including:
- "Distribution as Determined by a Law of Rent" (1891), by John B. Clark
- "A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth" (1956), by Robert Solow
- "The Market for "Lemons": Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism" (1970), by George Akerlof
- "The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime" (2001), by Steven Levitt and John J. Donohue
