This study examines survey data on the views of editors of economics journals on common critiques of the discipline, ethics and editorial practices, and the role of prestige and status in publishing. We utilize an ordered probit model to investigate whether editors or journal characteristics are systematically related to editors' views, controlling for gender and editorial position. Regression results show that editors from top-ranked journals are less likely to agree with common disciplinary critiques, more likely to support market solutions and less likely to agree with concerns about editorial practices.
本研究考察了关于经济学杂志编辑对该学科常见批评、伦理与编辑实践,以及声望和地位在出版中所起作用的观点的调查数据。我们使用有序概率模型来研究编辑或期刊特征是否与编辑的观点存在系统关联,并控制了性别和编辑职位。回归结果表明,来自排名靠前期刊的编辑不太可能认同常见的学科批评,更有可能支持市场解决方案,且不太可能认同对编辑实践的担忧。
