Handbooks in Economics
The Handbooks in Economics give professionals and academics the tools they need to successfully
navigate the ever-changing economic climate. With over 110 volumes in the collection, the handbooks
are more highly cited than any other economics journal by all publishers! They have an active shelf life
and all volumes are still significant in today’s environment. Economics have its own Nobel Prize, and
many of our editors and contributors are recipients including series editor Kenneth Arrow and 2013
winners Lars Peter Hansen and Robert J. Shiller.
