The Review of Economics and Statistics

Last updated

History

The journal, founded initially as The Review of Economic Statistics at Harvard University in 1917, published its official “inaugural volume” in 1919. The journal obtained its current title in 1948.

As the first editor-in-chief, Charles J. Bullock remarked in his Prefatory Statement to the first issue that "the purpose of the Review is to promote the collection, criticism, and interpretation of economic statistics, with a view to making them more accurate and valuable than they are at present for business and scientific purposes."
