The Econometrics Journal was established in 1998 by the Royal Economic Society with the aim of creating a top international field journal for the publication of econometric research. The Econometrics Journal is committed to publishing first-class papers in macro-, micro- and financial econometrics. It is a general journal open to all areas of econometric research, whether applied, computational, methodological or theoretical contributions.

The Editorial Board of The Econometrics Journal consists of leading international researchers in econometrics as Managing Editor and Co-Editors. The editorial structure of The Econometrics Journal is completed by the addition of a number of first-class, mainly younger, econometricians as Associate Editors. A complete listing can be found at Editorial Information.
