Dear colleagues,
I thought list members might be interested to know about a new economics collection from Annual Reviews, the nonprofit publisher that synthesizes critical research literature. Three new journals have been launched – the first time that Annual Reviews has applied its objective overview model to economics. The new titles are:
* Annual Review of Economics, edited by Nobel prize winner Kenneth Arrow and Stanford colleague Timothy Bresnahan
* Annual Review of Financial Economics, edited by Andrew Lo (MIT) and Nobel prize winner Robert Merton (Harvard Business School)
* Annual Review of Resource Economics, edited by Gordon Rausser (UC Berkeley)
A full press release is included below; for more information, please contact Marketing Manager Jenni Rankin ([log in to unmask]; 650-843-6634).

*ANNUAL REVIEWS ANNOUNCES NEW TITLES FOR ECONOMISTS*
Palo Alto, CA – January 13th, 2010. Annual Reviews, the nonprofit publisher that intelligently synthesizes critical research literature, is pleased to announce its new collection of economics journals. The three new titles are edited by leading economists Tim Bresnahan (Stanford), Andrew Lo (MIT), and Gordon Rausser (UC Berkeley), and Nobel prize winners Kenneth Arrow (Stanford) and Robert Merton (Harvard Business School). The new journals, Annual Review of Economics, Annual Review of Financial Economics and Annual Review of Resource Economics summarize developments in their respective fields and reflect the advancement of economics as a critical scientific discipline. Annual Reviews has brought together 150 renowned scholars to address an interdisciplinary audience, from economics specialists to those with primary interests including public policy, business, social and natural sciences.
Annual Reviews has offered comprehensive, timely collections of critical reviews since 1932. Its highly-cited journals help readers and librarians to evaluate and select from the increasing wealth of primary literature. Applying this model to economics provides readers with an authoritative assessment of the research, as the available material proliferates and awareness of economics is at its height. Particularly groundbreaking is the focus on the transdisciplinary field of resource economics, incorporating timely coverage of topics in agricultural economics, environmental economics, renewable resources, and exhaustible resources.
“Annual Reviews titles are key to any library’s collection,” explains Suzanne Cohen, Collection Development Librarian at the Martin P. Catherwood Library, ILR School at Cornell University. “They help scholars to gain the initial understanding of significant studies and contemporary advances that informs ongoing research and progress in the field. Our economists appreciate these new additions to the canon of economics literature.”
“I welcome this new collection of economics journals from Annual Reviews,” comments Gordon Rausser, Editor and Robert Gordon Sproul Distinguished Professor, University of California, Berkeley. “Our ultimate objective is to establish a forum in which emerging and leading scholars advance and explain the most important contemporary developments in economics, financial economics and resource economics.”
“It is surely a coming of age for financial economics that the field is now covered by Annual Reviews,” says Andrew W. Lo, Harris & Harris Group Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge, Massachusetts. “These 3 new journals give economists the ability to explore the origins of their field, examine where it stands today, and consider what the future might hold.”

*Annual Review of Financial Economics*
Co-Editors: Andrew W. Lo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Robert C. Merton, Harvard University
Annual Review of Financial Economics provides comprehensive, forward-looking and critical reviews of the most significant theoretical, empirical, and experimental developments in financial economics, including the fields of capital markets, corporate finance, financial institutions, market microstructure, and behavioral and experimental finance. Perhaps more than in any other branch of the social sciences, the science of financial economics directly influences the practice of financial economics, thereby creating a broad spectrum of practical insights and applications which, when implemented, yields valuable feedback that reinvigorates academic research. Accordingly, this series will also cover significant scientific developments in the financial industry and among government agencies.
