The Yale Economic Review (YER), established in 2005, is a quarterly journal of popular economics that seeks to deliver the most important and fascinating developments in economics to a broad audience. YER is not a typical peer-reviewed academic journal; rather, it aims to fill the gap between the technical content in traditional academic journals and the sporadic coverage of economics in the popular press. YER is distributed to students and faculty at select business schools, law schools, policy schools, and economics departments throughout the country, as well as to a growing segment of a general audience; it will be available for newsstand sales in the fall of 2006. The journal is edited and managed by students from Yale College, Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Yale School of Management.

Each issue includes articles by academic economists and industry practitioners who want to reach a broader audience than academic journals could provide. YER also synopsizes current economic research, reviews books, and offers other articles on pressing academic matters. Additionally, YER carries exclusive interviews with world leaders in finance, industry, public policy and academia. Recent interviewees include Nobel Laureates Paul Samuelson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and George Akerlof of the University of California, Berkeley, CEOs John Thain of the New York Stock Exchange and David Neeleman of JetBlue Airways, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and energy expert Daniel Yergin of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, celebrity political and economic commentator Ben Stein, and UN Millennium Project Director Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University.
