“…Rosen's () seminal paper has initiated a lively dialogue regarding stardom and salary structure—stressing that in many professions a relatively small number of people boast prodigious salaries and dominate the field. Since then, the superstar effect has been investigated not only in the economics of sports, but also in the entertainment industry, such as Hollywood economics (De Vany, ), cultural economics (Frey, ), and academia (Azoulay et al ., ; Torgler and Piatti, ), and more generally in winner‐take‐all markets, where a small heterogeneity in performance translates into large reward differences (Frank and Cook, ). Atkinson () also points out: “Consideration of the origins of such fortunes suggests that many are made in ‘winner take all’ markets (as is evidenced by the fact that I am writing this paper using Microsoft Word, not WordPerfect which I used ten years ago)” (p. 25).…”

The billionaires of the world attract significant attention from the media and the public. Surprisingly, only a limited number of studies have explored empirically the determinants of extraordinary wealth. Using a large dataset we investigate whether globalization and corruption affect extreme wealth accumulation. We find evidence that an increase in globalization increases super-affluence. In addition, we also find that an increase in corruption leads to an increase in the creation of super fortune. This supports the argument that in kleptocracies large sums are transferred into the hands of a small group of individuals. JEL Codes: D31, N30, P46

Adelaide has made a significant contribution to Australian economics. Since 1966, the University of Adelaide and Flinders University have been the partners behind the journal Australian Economic Papers (AEP). It has been an adventurous undertaking sometimes disconcerted by financial vulnerability, which at times, threatened its very existence. After outlining the journal's history, this paper undertakes a forensic examination of the AEP, and provides a comparison with its most obvious competitor, The Economic Record (ER). Despite its bold ambitions, we find that the AEP is now Australia's second‐ranking generalist economics journal and suffering the fate of being of that genre.

“…The great game in university life is to publish in top‐ranked journals. Torgler and Piatti () also identified that the other great game is to rank the journals themselves. This is important for academics keen to find the best research outlet in which to project their careers.…”

“…Using the recent work by Torgler and Piatti () on ‘A Century of the American Economic Review’ as both model and inspiration, this article takes a close look at the Economic Record ( ER ) over the last 50 years, dating from 1960. Created in 1925 as the flagship journal of the Economic Society of Australia and New Zealand (ESA), the ER is one of the world's prestigious economics journals and was invited to submit its content to the first issue of the Journal of Economic Abstracts , later known as the Journal of Economic Literature .…”

The Economic Record, one of the world's oldest economic journals, has a distinguished history. The flagship journal of the Economic Society of Australia and New Zealand was launched in 1925 and is approaching its 100th birthday. We undertake a forensic examination of the journal over the last 50 years, exploring issues like its content, most‐cited articles and most frequent contributors. This article discusses the journal's internationalisation but also identifies how Australia's top economists have, for the most part, faithfully persisted with it. The changing nature of academic publishing is explored through the patterns of collaboration, citations and dry holes.
