Welcome to the Journal of Monetary Economics

The Journal of Monetary Economics was founded in 1975, and quickly established itself as the leading professional journal in macroeconomics. It is consistently ranked as one of the top journals in economics, and it is widely read by macroeconomists, financial economists, central bankers, and many others. It welcomes the submission of high-quality manuscripts in all areas of macroeconomics.

Every two years, the JME publishes a ninth volume with the proceedings from a conference on macroeconomic policy sponsored by the Study Center Gerzensee of the Swiss National Bank. Occasionally the JME publishes supplement or sponsored issues on special topics.
