Revealed preference for economics journals: Citations as dollar votes
TLDR
The authors used citations as a proxy for quality of material published, as revealed preference for the journals and found that citations reveal preferences for the top economics journals, much as dollars reveal preferences in product markets.Abstract:
There are several measures which can be used to evaluate professional regard for economics journals. In this paper, I have focused on citations as a proxy for quality of material published, as revealed preference for the journals. The availability of the Social Sciences Citation Index has permitted construction of a relative rating system for economics journals, based on citations, which was virtually impossible for previous researchers to achieve. While the potential objections to using citations as a proxy have been admitted, the proxy is still a useful one — one that reveals preferences for the top economics journals, much as dollars reveal preferences in product markets.read more
