Journal of Mathematical Economics

The Journal of Mathematical Economics is a specialist academic journal focused on economic theory developed through formal mathematical reasoning. Published by Elsevier, it serves researchers working at the intersection of economics and mathematics, particularly in areas where economic concepts are expressed through models, proofs, optimization, equilibrium analysis, and other rigorous analytical methods. The journal is issued bimonthly and operates as a peer-reviewed publication, placing submitted research through scholarly evaluation before publication. The journal was established in 1974, with Werner Hildenbrand serving as its founding editor-in-chief. Its creation reflected the growing importance of mathematical methods in economic theory and the emergence of a distinct international research community built around formal analysis. Rather than functioning as a general-interest economics title, the journal has maintained a specialized identity centered on theoretical work in which mathematical structure is central to the argument. Over time, the publication has become associated with contributions from prominent economists and mathematicians. Its pages have included work by Nobel laureates and other major figures in economic theory, including Lloyd Shapley, Alvin Roth, Robert Aumann, Roger Myerson, Eric Maskin, Leonid Hurwicz, Reinhard Selten, Edmund Phelps, Oliver Hart, Paul Milgrom, and Gérard Debreu. The journal has also published work by Fields Medal recipient Stephen Smale, as well as influential scholars such as Hervé Moulin, Andreu Mas-Colell, David Gale, Jon Geanakoplos, David Kreps, and Hugo Sonnenschein. These contributors reflect the journal's role as a venue for mathematically intensive research rather than a publication aimed primarily at applied policy commentary. The journal's scholarly profile is reinforced by its inclusion in citation-based academic assessments. Journal Citation Reports listed a five-year impact factor of 0.725 for 2018. Such metrics provide one indication of its position within the economics literature, although they do not fully represent the influence of individual articles or the importance of the theoretical results published in the journal. Andres Carvajal of the University of California, Davis, is identified as the current editor-in-chief in the available reference material. Under its Elsevier publishing arrangement, the journal remains an established channel for disseminating peer-reviewed research in mathematical economics to an international academic readership. Information about its exact editorial succession, submission policies, subscription arrangements, and current bibliometric indicators is not fully documented in the supplied material.

The Journal of Mathematical Economics was established in 1974 as a dedicated venue for economic theory expressed through formal mathematical reasoning. Werner Hildenbrand was the founding editor-in-chief. The journal emerged during a period in which mathematical modeling, axiomatic methods, optimization, equilibrium theory, and related formal techniques were becoming increasingly central to advanced economic research. Its specialist remit distinguished it from broad economics journals by emphasizing mathematical structure as an essential part of the economic contribution. The publication has operated as a peer-reviewed journal, meaning that research submitted for consideration is evaluated through academic review before publication. It is published by Elsevier and appears on a bimonthly schedule. Its readership consists principally of economists, mathematicians, theorists, and researchers in related quantitative fields. The journal's scope is best understood as theoretical: it publishes work in which economic ideas are developed, clarified, or tested through formal mathematical arguments rather than focusing mainly on descriptive economic history, business reporting, or general policy analysis. Its publication record includes papers by a large number of highly influential scholars. The reference material identifies contributions by Nobel laureates Lloyd Shapley, Alvin Roth, Robert Aumann, Roger Myerson, Eric Maskin, Leonid Hurwicz, Reinhard Selten, Edmund Phelps, Oliver Hart, Paul Milgrom, and Gérard Debreu. It also identifies regular publication by Fields Medal winner Stephen Smale and work by prominent economists and mathematicians including Hervé Moulin, Andreu Mas-Colell, David Gale, Jon Geanakoplos, David Kreps, and Hugo Sonnenschein. The presence of these authors illustrates the journal's connection to major developments in mathematical economics and economic theory. The journal's visibility has also been measured through bibliometric indicators. Journal Citation Reports reported a five-year impact factor of 0.725 for 2018. This figure is a historical citation metric and should not be treated as a current performance measure. The available material does not provide a current impact factor, circulation figure, revenue figure, acceptance rate, or subscription data. Andres Carvajal of the University of California, Davis, is identified as the current editor-in-chief in the supplied reference. The journal therefore combines a long-running editorial institution, an established Elsevier publishing relationship, and a specialized scholarly identity focused on mathematically rigorous economic analysis. Detailed information about all former editors, editorial board changes, changes in publication frequency, and the journal's current digital services is not available in the supplied sources.

  The Journal of Mathematical Economics was founded as a peer-reviewed outlet for economic theory using formal mathematical reasoning, with Werner Hildenbrand as founding editor-in-chief.

A specialist, internationally oriented scholarly journal for rigorous mathematical research in economic theory, positioned between economics and mathematics rather than as a broad general-interest economics publication.
