Econ Journal Watch (EJW) is a semiannual peer-reviewed electronic journal established in 2004. It is published by the Fraser Institute. According its website, the journal publishes comments on articles appearing in other economics journals, essays, reflections, investigations, and classic critiques. As of 2017, the Journal maintained a podcast, voiced by Lawrence H. White.
As of 2011, the editor-in-chief was Daniel B. Klein, a libertarian economist and professor at George Mason University. In 2018, the managing editor was Jason Briggeman. As of 2022, the Fraser Institute claimed nine Nobel laureates had been on the Journal's advisory council.
The journal welcomes submissions of comments on articles that appear in economics journals as well as essays, reflections, and investigations that speak to the nature and character of economics research and professional economists. EJW publishes critical commentaries and "watches the journals for inappropriate assumptions, weak chains of argument, phony claims of relevance, omissions of pertinent truths, and irreplicability".
