The American Economic Review(AER),The Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE)和Econometrica (Ecta)是世界经济学五大顶级期刊中的三刊。其中，AER创办于1911年，由美国经济学会每季发行一次，2011年之后改为双月刊；QJE于1886年创刊，是由哈佛大学经济系主办的季刊；Ecta由世界计量经济学学会主办，出版周期为双月刊。

三个期刊的文献均涉及了经济学的各个领域，房地产税问题研究课题组本次活动以财政税收、土地与住房、公共服务和中国问题四个话题为主要着眼点，集中讨论了2018-2020年发表的近30篇文献。其中，财税问题的相关文献包含了最优税制设计、央地财政关系、财政政策制定等话题；土地与房产问题的文献多以家庭为研究主体，涵盖了房地产泡沫、房地产市场供需匹配、房价分布等相关话题；公共服务领域的文献多以研究教育问题为主，通常采用准自然实验的方法构造反事实，以DID、RD等识别策略加以验证；另外，有两篇文献对中国的官员晋升和反腐问题进行了研究。

总体而言，作为世界经济学五大顶级期刊(AER, JPE, QJE, RES, Ecta)的代表,三个期刊的文献都体现了极高的水平，值得我们认真研读。其中，Ecta最为强调理论基础，其文献也以理论模型构建为主，着重解决宏微观经济学的基础问题；QJE的文献最具故事性，多以准自然实验的形式和实证检验的方法描述各个国家和地区的现象；AER的文献则同时注重理论和实证，观点新颖而意义深刻。
