Mission Statement: As an official publication of Omicron Delta Epsilon, The International Honor Society in Economics, The American Economist is a peer reviewed academic journal that publishes original research from all fields and schools of economic thought. The American Economist specifically encourages submissions from young scholars and those who are teaching the next generation of economists, and will continue to publish papers from experienced and prominent economists whose influence has shaped the discipline.
The American Economist is published twice a year and is indexed in all of the leading bibliographic databases, including EconLit, and back issues are included in the JSTOR archive. A distribution of 6,500 copies per issue guarantees that published research will reach a wide audience. All accepted papers will be published in a timely manner as the journal does not maintain a backlog of papers.
All issues of The American Economist are available to browse online.
