History
The journal, founded initially as ''The Review of Economic Statistics'' at Harvard University in 1917, published its official “inaugural volume” in 1919 and was edited at the Harvard Kennedy School in 2002. The title of the journal changed to the Review of Economics and Statistics in 1948, explicitly starting from issue 30:1 (MIT Press Direct, “The Review of Economics and Statistics Celebrates 100 Years”). As the first editor-in-chief of the ''Review'', Charles J. Bullock has remarked in his ''Prefatory Statement'' to the first issue that “the purpose of the Review is to promote the collection, criticism, and interpretation of economic statistics, with a view to making them more accurate and valuable than they are at present for business and scientific purposes.” (Bullock)Editors
Editors of the ''Review of Economics and Statistics'' are divided as members of the editorial board and other associate editors. General editors are responsible of processing and evaluating submitted review papers from reviewers, with the authority to either publish or reject them, or alternatively forward arguable reviews to editors on the board for clarification (ASHA Journals). One of the past editors of the Review, Ambitabh Chandra, in an interview with the American Society of Health Economics (ASHEcon) provided his expertise on the journal’s process of evaluating submitted reviews, and specific suggestions of improvements for reviewers from his perspectives. In particular, he addressedEditorial Board
Members of the ''Review''’s editorial board are selected by all editors, including the publishers. They are a team with critical expertise on refining submitted content and promoting the journal to their fellow peers for the expansion of readership. The board generally goes through a total revision of members “every two or three years” (Elsevier). Below is a list of the current 2022 editors on the editorial board of the ''Review of Economics and Statistics'': # Pierre Azoulay, MIT # Olivier Coibion, University of Texas, Austin # Will Dobbie (Co-Chair), Harvard University # Raymond Fisman (Co-Chair), Boston University # Benjamin R.

Below is a list of past editors on the ''Review of Economics and Statistics'' editorial board since the journal was first founded in 1919. Published in December 2018 (Volume 100, Issue 5) as a celebration of the journal’s 100th issue, MIT Press created the list in recognition and appreciation of the effort and contribution that all editors put in for the growth and continuation of the journal (The MIT Press). Despite the general editorial duties, recently retired editors such as Asim I. Khwaja had been actively participating in the writing and editing of the “''Review of Economics and Statistics over the Past 100 Years''”, which is a journal article issued in October 2018 that investigated the changes and transformations that the ''Review'' experienced through the 100 years, providing a detailed summary of the ''Review''’s overall evolution (Khwaja and Mangal).Volumes & Issues
