   Abstract:
   We examine trends in author representation, research topics, and impact of citations to articles in the American Economic Review and what was formerly its Papers & Proceedings (P&P). Over what we refer to as the P&P expansion period (2008-2017), we see a significant shift toward greater diversity of P&P authors with respect to gender and institutions, and the range of topics covered. Importantly, the rise in inclusivity during this time period occurred without any loss of impact, with P&P article citations actually rising relative to regular-issue articles. Thus, our analysis suggests there is no trade-off between impact and inclusion.
