Abstract

This paper investigates the determinants of editorial board membership, for 17 leading journals in economics, from 1997 to 2009. We find that the researcher's scientific profile and connections to the editors in charge are significant predictors of editorship. Ceteris paribus, after controlling for unobserved researcher heterogeneity, scholars with links to editors in the co‐authorship network are more likely to serve as editors and this advantage decreases sharply with the social distance. Being a present or former departmental colleague or protégé of an editor‐in‐charge is positively associated with the probability of appointment to the board. Résumé Liens sociaux et comités éditoriaux en économie. Cet article explore les éléments déterminants relatifs à la composition des comités éditoriaux de 17 revues économiques de premier plan entre 1997 et 2009. Nous avons constaté que le profil scientifique du chercheur ainsi que ses relations avec les éditeurs augmentent la probabilité d’être membre d’un comité éditorial. Toutes choses étant égales par ailleurs, et après avoir neutralisé l’hétérogénéité non observée des chercheurs, il apparaît que les chercheurs en lien avec des éditeurs dans un réseau de corédaction sont davantage susceptibles de devenir éditeurs à leur tour, et que cet avantage s’amenuise drastiquement avec la distance sociale. Le fait d’avoir été collègue au sein d’un même département ou mentoré par un éditeur est associé de fac¸on positive à la probabilité d’intégrer le comité éditorial.
