We put these figures into perspective using the literature on boards of directors and measures of market concentration. The picture that emerges is of a discipline with a high concentration of institutional and individual power, especially at the more prestigious journals. Evidence suggests this indeed matters: there is a strong negative association between editorial duration and journal impact.}, organization = {State Research Agency (Spain) PID2019-111708GA-I00 MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, publisher = {John Wiley & Sons}, keywords = {Busyness}, keywords = {Concentration}, keywords = {Editorial boards}, keywords = {Impact}, keywords = {Journals}, keywords = {Power}, title = {Concentration of power at the editorial boards of economics journals}, doi = {10.1111/joes.12497}, author = {Ductor Gómez, Lorenzo}, }
