The Review of Economics and Statistics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal specializing in applied quantitative economics,[1] now called econometrics. It was founded in 1917 and first published as The Review of Economic Statistics in 1919.[1][2] The Review changed to its current title in 1948.[3]

The inaugural issue stated as the purpose of the Review to:

promote the collection, criticism, and interpretation of economic statistics ... by investigation of the sources and probable accuracy of existing statistics ... and by developing the application to economic statistics of modern methods of statistical analysis which have hitherto been utilized more extensively in other sciences than in economics.[4]

The Review is edited at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and published by MIT Press.[1] Its current editors are Alberto Abadie, Philippe Aghion, Michael Greenstone, Dani Rodrik, and Mark W. Watson.
