The Journal of Economic Perspectives is a quarterly academic journal that publishes articles aimed at a broad audience, including economists, policymakers, and the general public. It features accessible discussions of economic research, theories, and policies, making complex topics easier to understand. Founded in 1987 by the American Economic Association, the journal emphasizes the importance of clear communication in economics. Each issue typically includes articles that summarize recent research findings, provide insights into economic issues, and explore the implications of economic theory in real-world contexts.
