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Submission implies that the work is original, unpublished and not under review elsewhere.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.

Articles in this journal which have been peer-reviewed and accepted, but not yet copy-edited and typeset, are published online through our Accepted Articles feature in advance of publication in print. This service has been designed to ensure the earliest possible circulation of research papers immediately after acceptance, and as such will not be checked or corrected in any way. Readers should note that articles published within Accepted Articles have been fully refereed, but have not been through the copy-editing and proof correction process, or amended to journal style. Once the manuscript has been through the production process, the article is removed from the Accepted Articles area and published as normal in a printed issue. Please note that The Econometrics Journal aims to publish accepted online manuscripts within 5 working days of receipt in production; this is only possible if a completed and signed copyright form is received with the manuscript.
The journal impact factor is 0.691. View detailed information on journal activity.
