Interesting. I still haven't paid to publish anything, but then again my last publication was in 2023. I would be surprised if the prestige journals did this though, I think a lot of the top academics who publish there would feel undignified. Is it because of the expansion of pay to publish arms of prestige journals, like Nature Technical Reports that you told me about?
That's a reasonable guess. But don't have numbers to back it up or counter it.
So the readers of your papers need to pay to read you? Through university subscriptions?
Or open access publishing is standard in econ?

i imagine most people who read my work would access it through their institutional subscriptions.
i usually post my working papers on SSRN as well, which by the time the project is over will mirror the published version pretty much 1:1, minus journal-specific formatting

Preprint servers are a gift to humanity. Luckily they've become powerful enough that these days journals cannot forbid you to share your published work on arXiv and the likes, minus formatting.
