Journal of Human Capital

The Center of Excellence is home to the Journal of Human Capital – an innovating new journal in economics, which the University of Chicago Press has added to its family of major economics journal in March 2007. The JHC distinction is that it is dedicated to a theme, rather than a specific area of economic inquiry, and it is intended to serve as a platform for researches in micro, macro, and international economists dealing with human-capital related issues. The editor-in-chief is Isaac Ehrlich and the editorial office is located in the Center.

The Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social role especially in today’s emerging “knowledge economy.” Developed in response to the growing recognition of the central role human capital plays in determining allocation, distribution, and long-term growth of economic resources, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work in human capital and related public policy analysis.
