Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format and written in English. All necessary fonts should be embedded in the PDF file. Useful information on the preparation and creation of PDF files.
Submissions should be made online at https://editorialexpress.com/ectj
If you are unable to access this link, please contact the Editorial Office via e-mail. In exceptional cases those who are unable to submit electronic files in PDF format can submit one copy of a paper prepared according to these guidelines by mail addressed to the Editorial Office at the address below (including if possible media containing an electronic version of the paper). Please note that submission by mail may encounter a significant delay.
Submission is free.
Submission implies that the work is original, unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Related work that is forthcoming, submitted elsewhere or becomes so during the term in which The Econometrics Journal is considering the manuscript should be brought to the attention of the Editorial Board.
To improve the speed and quality of decisions we encourage authors when submitting to include previous editors' letters and referee reports from submissions at other journals. The Econometrics Journal of course reserves the right to use its own referees and provide the referees with copies of this correspondence. We believe authors will find this to be an attractive innovation and that it should also further speed up the editorial process.
Papers should be easily readable and should be under 50 pages. If the length of the paper exceeds the page limit, it may be rejected without review. Footnotes, figures, etc., should not be placed at the end.
Authors should take care to motivate their work and to communicate clearly the contribution of the paper.
Pages should be numbered.
Papers should include an abstract which summarizes the finding of the paper, keywords and complete author affiliations on the title page.
Proofs of results should be placed in appendices.

Revisions of papers for which resubmission has been requested should normally be resubmitted within a year from the date of decision. The Editorial Office of The Econometrics Journal writes to authors whose papers exceed this deadline inviting resubmission and allowing up to a further year from decision. It is the policy of The Econometrics Journal to treat the submission of papers that fail to meet this final deadline as new submissions.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to place their articles in The Econometrics Journal House Style.
Authors also must assign copyright in their paper to the Royal Economic Society. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate Exclusive License Form will be supplied by the Editorial Office together with The Econometrics Journal Style Guide. Alternatively, authors can download the Exclusive License Form (PDF).
Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley Author Services.
Author Services enables authors to track their article – once it has been accepted – through the production process to publication online.
Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production, and, when published online, access the article for free.
Authors may also nominate up to 10 specialists to receive free access as well. The corresponding author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system.
Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript.

'Accepted Articles' have been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but have not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process.Accepted Articles are published online a few days after final acceptance, appear in PDF format only (without the accompanying full-text HTML) and are given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows them to be cited and tracked. The DOI remains unique to a given article in perpetuity. More information about DOIs can be found online at http://www.doi.org/faq.html. Given that Accepted Articles are not considered to be final, please note that changes will be made to an article after Accepted Article online publication, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.
The Accepted Articles service has been designed to ensure the earliest possible circulation of research papers after acceptance. Given that copyright licensing is a condition of publication, a completed copyright form is required before a manuscript can be processed as an Accepted Article.
