The Economics of ‘Findings‘

Lewis Lehe and David Levinson

No 2021-11, Working Papers from University of Minnesota: Nexus Research Group

Abstract: This paper considers the monetary and time costs of producing Findings (formerly Transport Findings). After enumerating the journal’s expenses, we find the marginal monetary cost of an article is, on average, about $65, and that the journal incurs $1966 in fixed costs per year. Also, using data from a survey of Findings’ reviewers and estimate of reviewers’ value of time, we also calculate the time costs of operating findings. Most reviewers agree that compensating them for producing timely reviews would be an effective incentive.
