This article ranks core journals in economics using the textbook citation method. Rankings are produced from citations in graduate‐level microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics textbooks. Textbooks used in the study were chosen through responses from a survey of professors in top‐tier economics departments. The top nine journals or core journals from this study correlate closely in rank with the results of two comparison studies. Second‐tier journals identified in this study correlate less closely in rank with second‐tier journals in comparison studies.
