Abstract
This article examines whether the author–editor social connections identified by Tommaso Colussi among general-interest economic journals offer similar benefits to contributors to three top economic education field journals. I find that 6.7% to 8.7% of articles in these journals are written by connected authors and published when the related editor is in charge. Authors who are or were employed at the same institution as an editor are found to have published significantly more papers in the journal where said editor is in charge. Authors connected to editors through co-authorship and overall connections achieve similarly positive results when using expanded parameters for social connections. JEL Classifications: A14, A20
