《經(jīng)濟(jì)研究季刊》于1950年由一批日本著名經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家創(chuàng)辦，1959年成為日本經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)會(huì)的官方英文刊物。作為《日本經(jīng)濟(jì)評(píng)論》的繼承者，《日本經(jīng)濟(jì)評(píng)論》已經(jīng)成為《美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)評(píng)論》在日本的翻版，從日本國(guó)內(nèi)外的研究人員那里發(fā)表了在整個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域中質(zhì)量最高的大量經(jīng)濟(jì)分析。它還歡迎對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)經(jīng)濟(jì)問(wèn)題，無(wú)論是政治、理論或面向政策問(wèn)題，具有很強(qiáng)相關(guān)性的創(chuàng)新性和發(fā)人深省的貢獻(xiàn)。

Started in 1950 by a group of leading Japanese economists under the title The Economic Studies Quarterly, the journal became the official English language publication of the Japanese Economic Association in 1959. As its successor, The Japanese Economic Review has become the Japanese counterpart of The American Economic Review, publishing substantial economic analysis of the highest quality across the whole field of economics from researchers both within and outside Japan. It also welcomes innovative and thought-provoking contributions with strong relevance to real economic issues, whether political, theoretical or policy-oriented.
