Comment

Editor’s note

The paper by Helen Johns and Paul Ormerod, “The unhappy thing about happiness economics“, that appeared in the last issue of this journal has attracted an uncommonly large number of readers.  In addition to downloads of the whole issue, Johns and Ormerod’s paper has to date been downloaded over 12,000 times, more than twice the average rate. Given this strength of interest and the paper’s strong and consequential thesis, a dozen leading practitioners of happiness economics have been approached, offering them a chance to reply.  So far none have ventured forth.  If there is any economist out there who feels capable of rebutting all or part of Johns and Ormerod’s arguments, then a space awaits them in this  journal.

 for the

real-world economics review

 

The Real-World Economics Review now has 11,500 subscribers, publishes over 250,000 words of papers per year, and the number of copies of those papers downloaded from this site per year is nearing the one million mark.  It also maintains a blog and the non-journal pages of www.paecon.net.  All of these services to the economics profession and its students are provided free and, with a couple of small exceptions, without advertising.   Unfortunately however the private pocket that for ten years has funded these projects is not as full as it was and so can no longer continue to provide these services at their present or, hopefully, enhanced levels.  For this reason donations are now being sought from you, the journal’s readers. $10 will help. Click on the donate button of your preferred currency and you will be presented with the option of donating with a credit card or via PayPal.  Thank you.
