Abstract: Economic education has emerged as an important subfield in economics over the last several decades. This paper explores the author gender breakdown found in economic education journals compared to top-tier, general-interest economics journals and some field journals. We find that from 2009 to 2019, the percentage of articles published by women in general interest and selected field journals has remained relatively constant, while female publications in economic education journals have grown to match the percentage of women in the discipline. JEL codes: A20, A29
