既有文獻指陳, 經濟學期刊所出版的文章裡有較高的比例
是來自與編輯服務於同間學術機構的作者所撰寫。因此,
在決定出版與否的過程中, 編輯常被指控對「自己人」的
作品有著放水的偏私現象。在這篇論文裡, 作者發現自己
人由於被賦予較高的品質門檻, 因此在投稿上反而會比「
外面人」更來得辛酸異常。亦即, 頂尖經濟學期刊的編輯
在審稿過程裡真的對自己人給予「反面歧視」。職是,「
愛她, 就連她養的小寵物喵喵也要一起愛」的愛屋及烏現
象並不會在審稿過程中出現。

Existing studies offer evidence that a large fraction of articles published
in economics journals are authored by scholars affiliated with the same
institutions as the editors themselves. Accordingly, editors are often at
risk of being accused of giving this group preferential treatment in the
editorial process. In this thesis, I test for the possibility of favoritism
towards insiders, finding prima facie evidence that insiders have a harder
time getting their work accepted than outsiders. It will be argued that
this confirms that blue-ribbon economics publications actually practice
reverse discrimination against insiders. That is to say, love me love my
cat does not hold.
