Dear Editorial Board Members, Esteemed Authors, and Valued Readers,

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, it gives me immense pleasure to reflect on the remarkable journey that the Journal of Economic Analysis has embarked on since its inception in 2022. In this short span of time, we have witnessed an overwhelming response from the global academic community, with over 400 submissions from scholars across the world. This overwhelming support and enthusiasm for rigorous economic research have been the driving forces behind our steady growth and progress.

The past year has been particularly rewarding, as we have had the privilege of publishing 80 outstanding papers that have not only enriched our journal's repository but have also made significant contributions to the field of economics. These papers have garnered considerable attention and citations, with Google Scholar reporting over 550 citations to date. This is a testament to the high caliber of research being conducted by our authors and the meticulous efforts of our editorial team in maintaining the journal's standards of excellence.

On this auspicious occasion, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every member of our editorial board for their unwavering commitment and dedication to the journal. Their expertise, guidance, and valuable feedback have been instrumental in shaping the journal into a respected and reliable source of economic research. Similarly, I extend my sincerest thanks to all the authors who have entrusted us with their valuable research and have supported us throughout this journey.

As we embark on a new year filled with fresh opportunities and challenges, I am confident that the Journal of Economic Analysis will continue to flourish and make significant strides in promoting cutting-edge economic research. We remain committed to our mission of disseminating knowledge, fostering innovation, and advancing the frontiers of economic thought and practice.

In conclusion, I offer my warmest wishes to all our stakeholders for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year 2024. May this year bring new successes, new discoveries, and new heights of achievement for all of us associated with the Journal of Economic Analysis.
