Why the rise in IO in ARE?
We ran regressions on 5,000+ IO papers. Here's what correlates with citations (Google Scholar and Web of Science):
(+) Practical relevance
(+) Applied, policy-facing work
(-) Structural modeling

Publications:
IO in ARE is growing.
Food Policy, AJAE, JARE among others.
30%+ of ARE journal output is now IO-flavored.
And citations? ARE journals are climbing the ranks.
Food Policy is now #1 by median IO citations.

Methods:
Today, 95% of IO in ARE is empirical.
But mostly reduced-form + descriptive.
Structural models? Shrinking.
Meanwhile, IO econ is doubling down on structural

Themes:
IO in ARE has steadily shifted focus:
From upstream issues like grain markets & coops
→ To downstream topics: food retail, nutrition, labeling, climate, & resilience.
Consumer-facing policy issues now dominate.

Key result: IO in ARE is now more influential than ever. The fraction and volume of IO papers in ARE journals keeps growing fast. They receive a large volume of citations.
IO papers in ARE journals now receive comparable or higher citations than those in leading IO econ journals

New Paper!!#Econsky
We @ crojasac and I traced 50 years of Industrial Organization (IO) research in Agricultural & Resource Econ (ARE).
(i) 27,000+ articles
(ii) LLM-powered text analysis
(iii) retrieval of 50 years of citation metrics for 15 journals
(ivii) Expert survey
Here’s what we found 🧵
