Is the representation of editors at prestigious economics journals geographically diverse? Using data on the affiliations of academics working in an editorial capacity at such journals, we map the locations of editorial power within the economics profession. This allows us to rank institutions according to this measure of power. Further, by considering the average distance of a journal’s editorial affiliations from a geographic mean, we rank journals by geographic diversity. We find that power is concentrated in five geographical hubs and that most editorial teams are less geographically diverse and more North American than the authors they publish.

经济出版的地域多样性
著名经济学期刊的编辑代表地域不同吗?使用在此类期刊中以编辑身份工作的学者的隶属关系数据,我们绘制了经济学专业中编辑权的位置。这使我们能够根据这种权力衡量标准对机构进行排名。此外,通过考虑期刊的编辑从属机构与地理平均值的平均距离,我们按地理多样性对期刊进行排名。我们发现权力集中在五个地理中心,而且大多数编辑团队的地域多样性比他们发表的作者少,而且更多地来自北美。
