AEA

The American Economic Association, organized in 1885, encourages economic research, issues publications on economic subjects, and encourages freedom of economic discussion.  The AEA headquarters pages provide information about the association, honors and awards, membership, journal subscriptions, the Annual Meeting, and committee activities.

AEA Journals

The American Economic Association publishes the American Economic Review, the Journal of Economic Literature, the Journal of Economic Perspectives and the new American Economic Journals.  During 2006 and 2007, the American Economic Review was the most widely consulted journal among all 775 scholarly journals that are archived in JSTOR.

The American Economic Journals are publishing their first issues in 2009: AEJ: Applied Economics and AEJ: Macroeconomics in January; AEJ: Economic Policy and AEJ: Microeconomics in February. American Economic Journals are currently accepting papers.

EconLit

EconLit is the American Economic Association's electronic bibliographic database of economic literature. The EconLit web site features useful information on journals, subject descriptors (JEL classifications), searching and access options for libraries and AEA members. Find publishers for 75% of the over 900 journals indexed in EconLit as well as information about library and member subscriptions to EconLit. AEA members can also use EconLit for Members (EFM)!

Job Openings for Economists (JOE)

JOE is provided by the American Economic Association and updated near the first of every month except January and July. Employers may submit job listings online, and the JOE database allows for sorting job openings by section, JEL classification, and location in addition to marking and downloading positions of interest.

Resources for Economists (RFE)

RFE describes and links to over one thousand resources available on the Internet of interest to academic and practicing economists, and those interested in economics.  It is divided into more than seventy sections and subsections.  These include, but are not limited to data sources, forecasting, conferences, scholarly communication, teaching aids, and software.  RFE also features the Econ Search Engine.
