Econometrica Editors' Report, 2022–2023

THE JOURNAL PUBLISHED 79 articles (with 53 typeset supplements) and an average of 29 pages per article in 2023. Gold Open Access was offered to authors starting in January 2020 and authors have steadily increased paying the set Article Publication Charge (APC) of $5040 USD / £3780 GBP / e 4380 EUR (or a reduced fee amount determined by an institutional or government agreement with Wiley) and retain copyright to their published work. This option is offered to authors during the collection of their Copyright Transfer Form through Wiley Author Services. More details may be found here at the Wiley website.

2023 Report of the Monograph Series

THE GOAL OF THE SERIES is to promote the publication of high-quality research works in the fields of Economic Theory, Econometrics, and Quantitative Economics more generally. Publications may range from more or less extensive accounts of the state of the art in a field to which the authors have made significant contributions to shorter monographs representing important advances on more specific issues. In addition to the usual promotion by the Publisher (Cambridge University Press) in their advertising and displays at conferences, it also arranges for members of the Econometric Society to receive monographs at a special discount.

Quantitative Economics Editorial Board Changes

I am delighted to welcome a new member to the Quantitative Economics editorial board. Effective July 1, 2024, Chao Fu (University of Wisconsin-Madison) will become a Co-Editor. Chao is a distinguished scholar with broad expertise in applied economics. Her knowledge and insight will be of great value to the journal.

Econometric Society's Journals Welcome First Data Editor

At their 2022 August EC meeting, the Executive Committee of the Econometric Society decided to bring a Data Editor onto the editorial boards of Econometrica, Quantitative Economics and Theoretical Economics. The Society is excited to announce that Joan Llull and his established team will be starting July 1, 2023 as the Society’s first Data Editor. He will bring extensive experience having been Data Editor for the Royal Economic Society and their two journals, the Economic Journal and the Econometrics Journal.

Econometrica Editorial Board Changes

The current four-year term of Co-Editor, Charles I. Jones, will reach completion June 30, 2023. I am very pleased to announce that Chad has agreed to stay on as Co-Editor for an additional and last term of two years. Econometrica has greatly benefited from Chad’s efficiency, wisdom and expertise, and I am grateful for his willingness to continue his service at the journal.
 

Econometrica Editors' Report, 2021–2022

THE JOURNAL PUBLISHED 92 articles (with 70 typeset supplements) and an average of 32 pages per article in 2021. Gold Open Access was offered to authors starting in January 2020 and authors have steadily increased paying the set Article Publication Charge (APC) and retain copyright to their published work. This option is offered to authors during the collection of their Copyright Transfer Form through Wiley Author Services. More details may be found at the journal’s website.

Table II indicates that we received 1041 new submissions this year, and 180 revisions, down from last year’s 1258 new submissions and 244 revisions. It is important to note that submission totals have been inflated in recent years due to the journal’s withdraw-and-resubmit to comply with its paper formatting and length requirements. In the last four years, close to 10% of our submissions were effectively double-counted because they were withdrawn and resubmitted. The decline in new submission numbers may reflect a more educated submitter on journal requirements and less withdraw-resubmits. The number of accepted papers was 74 (112 in 20/21) 44 conditionally accepted (63 in 20/21), and 126 return for revisions (174 in 20/21).
