2025 AUG 13 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Economics Daily Report -- Current study results on Investment have been published. According to news reporting from Basel, Switzerland, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “We present a ranking of journals geared toward measuring the policy relevance of research. We compute simple impact factors that count only citations made in central bank publications.”

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Bank for International Settlements, “Our baseline ranking focuses on the period 2014-2023 and examines all items published in the Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) database. This ranking confirms the high policy relevance of journals specializing in macro, monetary, and international economics. Also, the major general interest economic journals are represented reasonably well in this ranking.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “In contrast, the major finance journals fare somewhat less favorably, with the notable exception of those focused on financial intermediation.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
