Fifty years of: 1966 to 2015

Abstract: New Zealand Economic Papers was launched in 1966, seven years after the New Zealand Association of Economists was established. This paper discusses the journal's development including challenges of establishing and editing it. We examine the nature of the contributions, the contributors, their origins, and the gender distribution of authors. We assess whether the growth in joint authorship evident in other fields of research is displayed in NZEP. We also examine how research has evolved over the life of the journal. The evolution of the content of the journal is related to economic developments and events in New Zealand and globally, and to developments in the economics profession. The journal continues to reflect contemporary New Zealand issues, which was one of the original aims of establishing the journal. It also displays an increasing use of theoretical and empirical techniques, joint authorship and contributions from overseas authors.
