But isn't SEJ a respected journal (not a top tier though). Is the quality difference (in terms of articles published) between journals really substantial ?

So here is the paper she sent us before the seminar. Im not sure if they made changes to the paper before it was published but here it is:

Attachment 5291

Why I cannot open the file? Could anyone help me?

Probably because we haven't posted enough (about 100 posts) to gain this 'permission' from TM. If you please could post this paper elsewhere, it would be very helpful. =]

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.

I've been told that the Southern Economic Journal is a decent journal for a field paper to end up in, and that's about it. A dissertation should be in a higher-tier journal.

I think there are a lot of very good papers in second or even third tier journals. Conversely, there can be very very bad paper in top journals (I remember a paper by Zilotti and al. that was just terribly bad with hypothesis totally unacceptable and it was just published in the AER). I really believe everyone should not judge the quality of a paper upon where it is published. You will miss a lot of good stuffs.
