Two articles by Finance's Jeff Bergstrand are among the most cited papers in The Review of Economics and Statistics from 1919-2017. Jeff's first academic journal publication, "The Gravity Equation in International Trade: Some Microeconomic Foundations and Empirical Evidence" published in 1985, was No. 8 on the list of all-time most cited works and No. 1 on the list of papers cited from the decade of the 1980s. His 1989 paper, "The Generalized Gravity Equation, Monopolistic Competition, and the Factor-Proportions Theory in International Trade," was the third-most cited paper from the 1980s. The journal is published by Harvard University's Department of Economics and is among the most prestigious general interest journals in economics (spanning 20 subfields) and one of the oldest in the world.
