ICYMI: Journal of Economic Perspectives Summer Issue Free Online

ARTICLE AD BOX

In the old days of publishing the Journal of Economic Perspectives on paper–like last year–I didn’t worry about publishing an issue in August. Even if potentially interested readers were on vacation or away from the office, I figured that the physical paper copy of the journal would hang around in their mailbox, or perhaps in the piles of paper littering their desktop, and readers would eventually discover the issue.

But in 2025, the JEP and the other journals published by the American Economic Association shifted to online-only publication (although you can purchase a paper copy if you wish). Yes, the American Economic Association announced the Summer 2025 issue of the JEP back in mid-August, and yes, I announced it on this website. But were there potentially interested readers who missed or skimmed over those late summertime announcements, but who are now back at the grindstone of a new academic year? I don’t know, but there seemed little harm in sending out a reminder that the Summer 2025 issue of the JEP (where I work as Managing Editor) is freely available online–as it has been for more than a decade now. You can download individual articles or entire issues, and it is available in various e-reader formats, too. To entice you to take a look, here’s the Table of Contents.
