Adelaide has made a significant contribution to A ustralian economics. Since 1966, the U niversity of A delaide and F linders U niversity have been the partners behind the journal Australian Economic Papers ( AEP ). It has been an adventurous undertaking sometimes disconcerted by financial vulnerability, which at times, threatened its very existence. After outlining the journal's history, this paper undertakes a forensic examination of the AEP , and provides a comparison with its most obvious competitor, The Economic Record ( ER ). Despite its bold ambitions, we find that the AEP is now A ustralia's second‐ranking generalist economics journal and suffering the fate of being of that genre.
