Ann,

The American Economic Association publishes a journal called
Journal of Economic Perspectives, that is intended  to be a window through
which the  outside world can peek at what economists do. It ranks among
the top ten journals in economics in terms of impact factor.  It was
initially subscriber access but is  now open access.

It does not have author fees, but is financed by revenues from other
American Economic Association journals.

Cheers,
Ted
