Major Economic Journals

I've been reading more economics papers so that I can have a better idea of what I want to do research in and to be able to write a good research proposal for NSF and graduate school applications.

Major economics journals are
American Economic Review
Journal of Economic Growth
Econometrica

So far, I'm looking at applying to these economics departments:
MIT
Harvard
BU
Berkeley
Columbia
NYU
Yale
Brown
U Maryland

I'm also applying to
MIT Operations Research
MIT Technology and Public Policy
Harvard Kennedy School PhD in Public Policy
Columbia Sustainable Development PhD
Berkeley Energy and Resources Group PhD

All the best for your research proposal, why do you want to pursue your research only in these universities.

There are several reasons.

The biggest reason is that those schools have highly ranked economics departments, which is important to having credibility as an economist or policy advisor in the future.

Second, those schools have economists that I like, usually on the topics of environmental economics and macroeconomics.

Third, I'd like to stay on the East Coast.
