the question of whether it is a respected journal is subjective, but a top department will probably not consider such a publication to have much (if any) value. however, the quality difference between an article in SEJ and a top journal is quite significant (just read and compare). i know some economists who wouldn't even bother sending an article there. i.e. if thats the best place it can get published, its not worth publishing.
