《经济研究季刊》于1950年由一批日本著名经济学家创办，1959年成为日本经济学会的官方英文刊物。作为《日本经济评论》的继承者，《日本经济评论》已经成为《美国经济评论》在日本的翻版，从日本国内外的研究人员那里发表了在整个经济学领域中质量最高的大量经济分析。它还欢迎对现实经济问题，无论是政治、理论或面向政策问题，具有很强相关性的创新性和发人深省的贡献。
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.
