"German Economic Review exemplifies the renaissance of European economics. In its first four years, it has already published several important articles. Its balance between theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research is excellent. It should be regular reading for economists the world over, not just in Europe."  Avinash Dixit, Princeton
