Abstract:
We analyse the interrelationship between economics journals' relevance and
reputation. While reputation and relevance positively affect each other,
relevance has a much stronger impact on reputation than reputation on
relevance. Citation frequency is a key determinant for both journal
reputation and relevance, but effects on journal reputation are nearly twice
as strong. Specialised journals are, ceteris paribus, considered less
relevant and, therefore, also less reputed, even though specialisation has a
positive direct effect on reputation. German-speaking economists find German
journals more relevant, but at the same time also less reputed than
foreign journals. Age and volume effects are also analysed.
