Any thoughts?
Writing a technical paper on forecasting macro variables. Apart from the IJF, which journals could be relevant?
My idea is that most macro journals prefer theory or structural analysis.

Economist on "Is it possible to add a coauthor after R&R?"
Say, if the referees request something the original authors don't really know, can they invite more coauthors to join to perform those tasks? Or any change in authors amounts to a new submission?

Economist on "Resubmission decision time"
I submitted a paper and it took 6 months to R&R. I did the revision in 3 months. Is there anyway the review of the resubmission will be faster than the initial submission??

"We compare the accumulated posts of registered users on Economic Job Market Rumors with solo-authored papers in economics journals since 1990 using Convolutional Semantic Similarity. The most-likely identities of EJMR registered users are then matched to IRS tax data to determine income and demographics. Compared to a control group of economists in similar fields, EJMR regulars are overwhelmingly male, twice as likely to be divorced, and have decreasing income profiles."

Any ideas of where I can find a sample letter? Or suggestions on how long it should be and how much detail it should contain? I am a first time referee and not sure how to structure my letter to editor.

Got the decision letter last week, it was a rejection but the editor allows us to resubmit if we can handle reviewers' comments and come up with a completely new manuscript.

How is this journal? Another journal for theoretical papers?

Thank god the Q in QJE stands for quarterly, otherwise there would be no journal left willing to select the few general interest articles that all economists should know. Sorry to see you leave the class of general interest journal JPE. I used to try to read what you published.

Economist on "Shift to "awaiting decision" very quickly - bad sign?"
I just submitted an article about 3 weeks ago and it already went from managing editor assignment -> out for review -> "awaiting decision". Is this most likely a sign that the referee(s) have some serious criticisms and were able to reject very quickly? What have your experiences been?
Just wondering if there is any possibility this could be a positive sign.

I've published in other econ history journals but not EHR - any recent experience with them, good or bad? How long to a decision?

Economist on "Replace List with robot as JPE editor?"
Having received a few reports from JPE (handled by JL) I am left with the feeling that JL adds little to nothing to the editorial process.
I believe that relatively simple AI could replace him, decreasing significantly the response time at JPE.
The AI would follow the following rule:
1) Count the number of positive and negative reports. If Positive>Negative move to step 2. If Negative >= Positive Reject skip to step 3.
2) Measure alignment with JL's research agenda. If positive associations detected, give R&R. If negative associations detected Reject.
3) Write editorial letter which ignores all substance of referee reports and reduces to simply imploring the author to include numerous references to List et al. MHT is essential to include, but otherwise at least 2-4 John List authored references must be included.

Economist on "Don't worry, journal's high rejection rates mainly driven by many rubbish papers"
Editor here,
To all juniors despairing at the high rejection rates of many econ journals. Let me assure you that, at least at my LRM journal (but have no reason to assume this is different at other journals), more than 50% of submissions are just rubbish. So if you see a 90% rejection rate, take it with a pinch of salt. Dropping the trash, the correct rate is more likely to be 40-50%.

Economist on "GEB editorial process"
In 2018 I have submitted two papers to Games and Economic Behavior, and the editorial process is quite delayed compared to to what I experienced a couple of years ago.
I got one R&R after 12 months of waiting (4 months of "Under Editor Evaluation" followed by 7 months of "Under Review" status). It has been more than 6 weeks since I resubmitted it, the status is still "Editor Invited."
The last status of another paper is "With Editor" for more than 4 months.
Is it just for me, or is it common these days?
