国际上经济学顶级期刊有

伦敦政治经济学院：拥有全球最好的经济学期刊的主编和极高的国际声誉，每年都有许多LSE的硕士毕业生去美国顶级高校攻读博士学位，也有不少博士毕业生去美国一流高校任教。美中不足的是，LSE的入学竞争过于激烈，校方提供的博士研究生资助也很有限。伦敦大学学院：UCL经济学系拥有一批世界顶级经济期刊的主编，而且由于UCL的教员数量只有LSE的一半，因此人均科研实力在欧洲地区傲视群雄。该校的缺点是缺乏与其学术地位相称的国际声誉。牛津大学：一直就是欧洲经济学研究的重镇，旗下拥有4本学术期刊，各项科研指标堪称欧洲第一。但由于oxford的教员数量较多，人均科研实力远逊LSE和U及CL。剑桥大学：100年前曾是世界经济学研究的中心，但现在却未能挤进英国经济专业排名前三甲。沃克里大学：Warwick的口号是成为“欧洲的哈佛”，在学界中被誉为英国经济学的希望之星。但缺点是教员在顶级学术期刊上发表的文章数量不多，因此要实现宏伟目标尚任重道远。艾塞克斯大学：该校也是近年来崛起的新秀，虽然国际声誉较低，但人均科研实力出色，科研成果颇丰。南安普顿大学：近年来在计量经济学领域进步显著，整体科研实力已接近Warwick。缺点是偏科明显，国际声誉不高。诺丁汉大学：该校经济系的综合实力一流，本科教育非常出色。缺点是缺少顶级经济学家，研究生特别是博士生的培养能力一般。
