Evolution and Scope
The inaugural issue of the JEE was published in the fall of 1969. According to G.L. Bach of Stanford University, writing in the 1971 American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings, the journal was designed to be the primary forum for scholarly work in economic education. While its main focus is on colleges and universities at the undergraduate level, its scope also extends to junior colleges and high schools.
Early Governance and Leadership
In its formative years, the publication was overseen by the Council for Economic Education (originally known as the Joint Council and later the National Council). The editorial board consisted of members from the American Economic Association Committee on Economic Education, with Henry Villard of the City University of New York serving as the initial editor.
Publishing Transitions
The administrative and financial structure of the journal evolved significantly over the decades. In 1981, the Council for Economic Education transferred the copyright and publishing responsibilities to the nonprofit Heldref Publications, although the Council continued to provide financial support and appoint the editor.
The journal's growth led to an increase in frequency, becoming a quarterly publication in 1983 under the editorship of Donald Paden from the University of Illinois. Subsequent leadership included Kalman Goldberg of Bradley University in 1986, and William Becker in 1989, at which point the editorial offices relocated to Indiana University.
Modern Era and Current Status
A major transition occurred in late 2009 when William Walstad of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln took over as editor, and Heldref sold the journal to the for-profit Taylor & Francis Group. As of 2018, the journal is co-edited by Sam Allgood and KimMarie McGoldrick.
