About the journal
|
Econometrica publishes original articles in all branches of economics - theoretical and empirical, abstract and applied, providing wide-ranging coverage across the subject area. It promotes studies that aim at the unification of the theoretical-quantitative and the empirical-quantitative approach to economic problems and that are penetrated by constructive and rigorous thinking. It explores a unique range of topics each year - from the frontier of theoretical developments in many new and important areas, to research on current and applied economic problems, to methodologically innovative, theoretical and applied studies in econometrics.
Econometrica maintains a long tradition that submitted articles are refereed carefully and that detailed and thoughtful referee reports are provided to the author as an aid to scientific research, thus ensuring the high calibre of papers found in Econometrica. An international board of editors, together with the referees it has selected, has succeeded in substantially reducing editorial turnaround time, thereby encouraging submissions of the highest quality. |
Instructions to Authors
We strongly encourage recent Ph. D. graduates to submit their work to Econometrica. As the yearly report indicates we reply quickly relative to most other journals in Economics. Our policy is to take into account the fact that recent graduates are less experienced in the process of writing and submitting papers.
1. Members of the Econometric Society may submit papers to Econometrica electronically in pdf format according to the guidelines in point 6 below. As of January 1, 2004, only electronic submissions will be accepted. Please do not submit electronically a cover letter solely indicating submission of the manuscript; include a letter only if it contains information pertinent to the review process. In exceptional cases for those who are unable to submit electronic files in pdf format, one copy of a paper prepared according to these guidelines can be submitted, with a cover letter, by mail addressed to Professor Eddie Dekel, Eitan Berglas School of Economics, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel.

(For advice on creating pdf files click here.)
2. There is no charge for submission to Econometrica, but only members of the Econometric Society may submit papers for consideration. In the case of coauthored manuscripts, at least one author must be a member of the Econometric Society. Nonmembers wishing to submit a paper are welcome to first join the society by clicking here. Note that Econometrica rejects a substantial number of submissions without consulting outside referees.
3. It is a condition of publication in Econometrica that copyright of any published article be transferred to the Econometric Society. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that the author agrees that copyright of the material will be transferred to the Econometric Society if and when the article is accepted for publication, and that the contents of the paper represent original and unpublished work that has not been submitted for publication elsewhere. If the author has submitted related work elsewhere, or if he does so during the term in which Econometrica is considering the manuscript, then it is the author's responsibility to provide Econometrica with details. There is no page fee; nor is any payment made to the authors.
4. Econometrica has the policy that all empirical and experimental results as well as simulation experiments must be replicable. For this purpose the Journal editors require that all authors submit data sets, programs, and information on experiments that are needed for replication and some limited sensitivity analysis. (Authors of experimental papers can consult the posted list of what is required.) This material for replication will be made available through the Econometrica supplementary material web-page. The format is described in the posted information for authors.
Submitting this material indicates that you license users to download, copy, and modify it; when doing so such users must acknowledge all authors as the original creators and Econometrica as the original publishers. If you have compelling reason we may post restrictions regarding such usage.
At the same time the Journal understands that there may be some practical difficulties, such as in the case of proprietary datasets with limited access as well as public use data sets that require consent forms to be signed before use. In these cases the editors require that detailed data description and the programs used to generate the estimation data sets are deposited, as well as information of the source of the data so that researchers who do obtain access may be able to replicate the results. This exemption is offered on the understanding that the authors made reasonable effort to obtain permission to make available the final data used in estimation, but were not granted permission. We also understand that in some particularly complicated cases the estimation programs may have value in themselves and the authors may not make them public. This, together with any other difficulties relating to depositing data or restricting usage should be stated clearly when the paper is first submitted for review. In each case it will be at the editors?discretion whether the paper can be reviewed.
5. Papers may be rejected, returned for specified revision, or accepted. Approximately 10% of submitted papers are eventually accepted. Currently, a paper will appear approximately nine months from the date of acceptance. In 2001, 90% of new submissions were reviewed in six months or less.
6. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted for paper of standard size with margins of at least 1.25 inch on all sides, 1.5 or double spaced with text in 12 point font (i.e., under about 2000 characters, 380 words, or 30 lines per page). Material should be organized to maximize readability; for instance footnotes, figures, etc., should not be placed at the end of the manuscript. We strongly encourage authors to submit manuscripts that are under 45 pages (17,000 words) including everything (except appendices containing extensive and detailed data and experimental instructions). While we understand some papers must be longer, if the main body of a manuscript (excluding appendices) is more than the aforementioned length, it will typically be rejected without review.
7. Additional information that may be of use to authors is contained in the "Manual for Econometrica Authors, Revised" written by Drew Fudenberg and Dorothy Hodges, and published in the July, 1997 issue of Econometrica. It it explains editorial policy regarding style and standards of craftmanship. One change from the procedures discussed in this document is that authors are not immediately told which coeditor is handling a manuscript. The manual also describes how footnotes, diagrams, tables, etc. need to be formatted once papers are accepted. It is not necessary to follow the formatting guidelines when first submitting a paper. Initial submissions need only be 1.5 or double-spaced and clearly organized.
8. Papers should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 150 words that is full enough to convey the main results of the paper. On the same sheet as the abstract should appear the title of the paper, the name(s) and full address(es) of the author(s), and a list of keywords.
9. If you plan to submit a comment on an article which has appeared in Econometrica, we recommend corresponding with the author, but require this only if the comment indicates an error in the original paper. When you submit your comment, please include any correspondence with the author. Regarding comments pointing out errors, if an author does not respond to you after a reasonable amount of time, then indicate this when submitting. Authors will be invited to submit for consideration a reply to any accepted comment.
10. Manuscripts on experimental economics should adhere to the "Guidelines for Manuscripts on Experimental Economics" written by Thomas Palfrey and Robert Porter, and published in the July, 1991 issue of Econometrica.
11. Econometric Society business to be published in Econometrica as an Announcement or Report should be submitted to the Econometric Society Secretary, Julie Gordon, Dept. of Economics, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-2600. Announcements of academic conferences, workshops, etc., conducted by other societies or organizations, the availability of fellowships, postdoctorates, etc., and honorary awards for publication in the News Notes section of the journal should be sent to the Editor, Eddie Dekel (address in paragraph 1 above). Deadlines for all such endmatter are the fifteenth day of the fourth month prior to publication, i.e., September 15 for the January issue, November 15 for the March issue, etc. Please refer to the "Manual for Econometrica Authors, Revised" by Drew Fudenberg and Dorothy Hodges, published in the July, 1997 issue for further information on format and content.
