A pretty good view of the impact of the JEP at 100 issues of its inception.

A very good article on how China and India are changing the global economy -- includes good telling graphs.

A profile of Jonathan Levin. 

Why is the JEP my favorite journal 1) it is interdisciplinary, 2) it is written for the general audience, and more importantly, 3) it is open access.
