Econ Journal Watch is a semiannual peer-reviewed electronic journal established in 2004. It is published by the Fraser Institute.

As of 2017, the Journal maintained a podcast, voiced by Lawrence H. White.

As of 2011, the editor-in-chief was Daniel B. Klein, a libertarian economist and professor at George Mason University. In 2018, the managing editor was Jason Briggeman. As of 2022, the Fraser Institute claimed nine Nobel laureates had been on the Journal's advisory council.

Studies

A 2010 study by Klein and Zeljka Buturovic published in Econ Journal Watch purported to show that conservatives and libertarians were better informed than liberals about economics. After receiving criticism, the authors adjusted their research questions in a new study, and published its different findings in 2011. Jonathan Chait of The New Republic, who had called the 2010 study "hackery" and "obviously designed to portray conservatives as better informed", offered the authors praise in 2011 for the revisions.

A study published in Econ Journal Watch in 2016 said that American university professors were much more likely to be Democrats than Republicans.

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index, Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences, EconLit, Journal of Economic Literature, and Research Papers in Economics. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2010 impact factor of 0.920.
