Taking into consideration the competition, the number of articles appearing in non-regional journals is an indication of the increasing quality of the work from the Bank’s staff. Prior to 1980, articles by the Bank's economists had appeared in only one non-regional journal - The American Economist , in 1978. However, starting in the early 1980s, new journals were penetrated virtually every year, peaking in 1997, with the publication of articles in the International Economic Journal, Savings and Development, Tourism Analysis and International Advances in Economic Research .
