Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics

The journal was established in 1864 as the Zeitschrift für Schweizerische Statistik (in German) and Journal de Statistique suisse (in French). Its first editor was Johannes Stössel, the secretary of the Federal Statistical Bureau , who served as an editor from 1864 to 1869.{{Cite journal |last=Baechtold |first=Hermann |date=1914 |title=Die Schweizerische statistische Gesellschaft 1864—1914 |url=https://www.sgvs.ch/papers/sjesBackIssues/1914_PDF/1914-I-25.pdf |journal=Zeitschrift für Schweizerische Statistik |language=de |volume=I |issue=25 |pages=261 |via=SSES Archives}}

In 1916, the journal was titled Zeitschrift für schweizerische Statistik und Volkswirtschaft (in German) and Journal de statistique et Revue économique suisse (in French), and from 1945 onwards, it was named Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik (in German), Revue suisse d'Économie politique et de Statistique (in French), and Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics (in English).{{Cite journal |last=Scheurer |first=Frédéric |date=1964 |title=Un quart de siècle d'histoire de la Société suisse de Statistique et d'Économie politique 1939-1964 |url=https://www.sgvs.ch/papers/1964-IV-4.pdf |journal=Revue suisse d'Économie politique et de Statistique |language=fr |volume=IV |issue=4 |pages=616 |via=SSES Archives}}

Although the journal is now published entirely in English, issues prior to the first edition of 2007 also accepted articles written in German, French and Italian.{{Cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=Martin |last2=Grossmann |first2=Volker |last3=Lalive |first3=Rafael |last4=Tille |first4=Cédric |date=2018 |title=Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics |journal=Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics |volume=154 |issue=1 |pages=1–2 |doi=10.1186/s41937-018-0020-4 |doi-access=free |pmid=30443494 |pmc=6214255 }}{{Cite web |title=Information about organization |url=https://dodis.ch/R18753?lang=en |access-date=11 July 2024 |website=Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland}}
