THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINS current editorial procedures and policies of Econometrica; it is primarily addressed to authors who plan to submit manuscripts to the journal. Section 2 deals briefly with clarity in writing and exposition. Section 3 explains our organization and how submissions are handled. Details concerning the preparation of manuscripts are covered in Section 4; Section 5 discusses the submission of Announcements and News Notes. purpose of the Econometric Society is defined in Section 1 of our Constitution: The Econometric Society is an international society for the advancement of economic theory in its relation to statistics and mathematics.... Its main object is to promote 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. Econometrica has no tightly controlled policy towards subject matter. No paper is rejected because it is or too quantitative, but because our membership includes economists with a variety of research interests, it is necessary that full-length contributions be prepared so that the nonspecialist is informed of what they are about and why the results are important. At the same time, no paper is rejected because it is not mathematical enough or applied, nor need papers make a methodological contribution. What is important is that the papers we publish should be interesting, original, and well crafted, and that they use whatever mathematical and/or statistical tools are appropriate for the problem at hand.
