Price premiums for journal quality and journal governance: Evidence from economics journals

Yuqing Zheng () and Harry M. Kaiser

Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 112, issue 1, pages 125-127

Abstract: We quantify the impacts of journal governance (for-profit status, society affiliation, and publisher), quality (impact factor and citations), and costs on the institutional subscription prices of the core economics journals. Empirical results show that quality has a much smaller influence.
