About The Review

The Review of Economic Studies was founded in 1933 by a group of economists from leading UK and US institutions. Published by The Review of Economic Studies Ltd, it has a long tradition of promoting research in theoretical and applied economics, particularly among young economists.

In 2026, we launched The Review of Economic Studies: Insights, a new fully open-access journal dedicated to high-quality research in a short-paper format.

Alongside our two journals, we support promising young economists through the annual REStud Tours, which connect early-career researchers with leading academic institutions.
