No real surprise here. Senior economists long ago stopped publishing
in the major journals because of the time lag and just posted their
papers on their own websites or collectives like SSRN.
And this phenomenon is hardly limited to economics. Blogs by top law
professors are now widely acknowledged to be the place to look for
cutting-edge work, not the law journals, which in thids field were
never peer-reviewed anyway.
