What made "European" economic research unique between the 1980s & 2010s?

Some initial results based on topic-modeling:
▶️ Labor markets (wages, unemployment) & experimental econ dominated among Europe-affiliated authors
▶️ European journals (EER, JEEA) leaned into international economics

Huge congrats to Antoine Missemer on receiving the CNRS Bronze Medal! A well-deserved recognition for an outstanding historian of economic thought — rigorous, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely humble. Great news not just for him, but for the whole field.

Digging into the JEEA special issue below, I was wondering if anyone knows of articles, reports, or resources on the history of economic journal ranking?

When and how academic/public institutions began ranking journals?
