Economics Job Market Rumors Forum: Research / Journals

Is Applied Economics an A journal in China? I observe many Chinese publishing in that journal.

Topic is about the CB in international monetary policy. Which one would you try first?

But the number of published articles has remained flat or decreased. Why not expand a bit?

do I have to wait until the final acceptance?

Or I can also thank them when I resubmit my manuscript for the Revise and Resubmit (R&R) ?

Way better than the "Out of Africa", log(NAICS), fetal alcohol syndrome, and "16 and Pregnant" papers that you clowns are putting out. And we haven't even gotten into mainstream macro research yet.

I enjoy the privilege of being HRM.

Not only do authors not know who the referees are, and not only do referees not know the author(s), but also referees don't even know the journal that it was submitted to.

on the area related to rejected paper. How likely is this?

Such a nice field to read

Get the popcorn out and go to the following AEJ article

https://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/pol.6.1.167

Now scroll down to comments and see the paper being destroyed.

While this is bad for the authors, what does this say about the referees? Are they being crossed from the list of admissible referees?

And it's policy relevant and I am now getting feedback from practitioners pointing out some problems. What to do?

Last night I saw an editor's e-mail in my inbox and was already mentally preparing myself to see the words, "We regret to inform you..." Instead, it turned out to be an invitation to revise and resubmit. I have a lot of work to do, and rejection is still very likely given the comments. But don't give up hope, bros and broettes!

What does it mean when a publication from an early 2015 issue is not yet showing up on your ideas profile page, but other articles from the same issue already appear on others' profiles?

Is there anything one should do about this, apart from just waiting?

You see, if my good paper has been judged to fall short of publication at a given level, there is no way I'm going to green light a paper of equal or lesser quality at that same level or above.

Why is it so hard to sell theory papers these days? But empirical work is easy to sell even with marginal contributions to economic discipline?

Which one would you consider to be the best empirical paper published in the last 10 years?

If the paper makes a breakthrough that is important enough then future researchers will be compelled to cite that paper no matter where it was published and even if its merely an unpublished working paper. Getting it into a particular "top" journal is just a way of pooling to hide the paper's long term type. Sure, papers with big impact tend to find a home in "top" journals, but they don't have to at all. There are plenty of duds in "top" journals. There are plenty of diamonds in lesser journals.

Impact Factor up to 1.2. Rising journal.
