Abstract
This study extends a recent paper by Jean Louis Heck and Peter A. Zaleski 1991 on trends in economics journal publication from 1969--89. The primary purpose of the work is to analyze the impact on article production of an observed dramatically increasing tendency toward coauthorship among scholars in economics. A simple model is tested with total (per capita) articles as a function of time, American Economic Association (AEA) membership, and articles coauthored per year. Results suggest that the increasing trend toward coauthorship enhances productivity in total and per-capita article production.
