Angus, Atalé, Newton and Ubilava wrote “The editorial boards of major economic journals show a high degree of institutional concentration and moderate geographic diversity.”There is no doubt that all types of diversity are the concern of economics professionals, and there is another dimension here.
Noting the dominance of the United States in journals, provide the following editorial geographic abstracts:
source: Angus et al. (2021).
Provides more details at the bottom Paper. I happen to be International Monetary and Finance Journal. That journal did not make it to their list, but it did make it Google Scholar 2021 Economics Journal Top 20 List, According to influencing factors.The publisher (Elsevier) recently updated International Monetary FundThe edit page contains beautiful logos (number counts are suitable for the United States, even if for some reason, I didn’t get one).
Note: J. Aizenman will serve as co-editor until December 31, 2020.
No summary of other aspects of diversity; Jie There are more detailed breakdowns. I will notice that the gender difference is absolutely obvious, there are only 3 women on the editorial board. (On the other hand, I will notice that I am the first Asian or Asian American editor/co-editor International Monetary Fund40 years old. )
As expected, International Monetary Fund Part of the editor’s focus is on American norms (two of the three have been working in the United States for about ten years). For editorial boards—the importance of which varies from journal to journal—has a broader representation, although as a journal dealing with international economics, you might expect more diversity. The editorial board includes academic representatives from China, Hong Kong (calculated separately in this table), and New Zealand and Australia. There are no members in Africa or the Asian subcontinent. There is a think tank (deutsches institut für wirtschaftsforschung), five central bankers (of course, if you include resigned central bankers, there are more), and most other scholars.
Is the assignment of editors and editorial board members important? I have no idea.If you consider Special problem That International Monetary Fund Published in the past 7 years, I would say that there are many geographical distributions-there is a problem with international finance/open economy macro people!

Now, whether the methodological methods and literature cited in the papers of these special issues (and general journals) are heavily dependent on the geographic location of the editors or members of the editorial board is still an open question. Personally, I suspect that it depends more on the intellectual pedigree of the editor-in another article it depends more on this.
