Econometrica
From Free net encyclopedia
Econometrica is a prestigious academic journal of economics, publishing articles in not only econometrics but in many areas of economics. It is published by The Econometric Society via Blackwell Publishing. The current editor of Econometrica is Eddie Dekel.
It describes itself as
- Econometrica publishes original articles in all branches of economics - theoretical and empirical, abstract and applied, providing wide-ranging coverage across the subject area. It promotes studies that aim at the unification of the theoretical-quantitative and the empirical-quantitative approach to economic problems and that are penetrated by constructive and rigorous thinking. It explores a unique range of topics each year - from the frontier of theoretical developments in many new and important areas, to research on current and applied economic problems, to methodologically innovative, theoretical and applied studies in econometrics. [1]
Econometrica was first published in 1933. Currently its most widely cited article is a paper by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky which introduced prospect theory. [2]
