经济学的顶级期刊有：American Economic ReviewEconometricaJournal of Political EconomyQuarterly Journal of EconomicsReview of Economic Studies等经济学是研究人类社会在各个发展阶段上的各种经济活动和各种相应的经济关系及其运行、发展的规律的学科。经济学核心思想是物质稀缺性和有效利用资源，可分为两大主要分支，微观经济学和宏观经济学。经济学起源希腊色诺芬、亚里士多德为代表的早期经济学，经过亚当·斯密、马克思、凯恩斯等经济学家的发展，经济学衍生出了演化证券学、行为经济学等交叉边缘学科。随着国民经济的高速发展，经济学研究和应用受到国家和民众的关注越来越高，理论体系和应用不断完善和发展。一般情况下，经济学理论建基在理性的“极大化”这假设之上，每个人都会在局限下选取对自己最有利的选择。在经济学理论中的假设真假并不重要，只要假设推论出来的可被验证含意，能够解释及推测现实世界，我们就接受这个理论。但是奥地利经济学的理论是建立在人是有目的的行动的行动公理基础之上。其学派旗帜鲜明的反对把理性状态和极大化作为经济学的逻辑前提。凡是有解释能力的理论，都一定有被事实推翻的可能性（refutable by facts），但未被事实推翻。 我们永远不能证明一个理论，因为下一次的事件总会有机会推翻该理论。

经济学的核心期刊主要是由北图和南大两家公布，一般情况下，在京各个经济研究院所、各省（自治区、直辖市）社会科学院所办经济类刊物或社科类刊物均被列入其中，名校学报或所处社科类或经济类刊物亦在其中。比如经济学动态、经济研究、经济问题、经济界等均为经济类核心期刊。
