Journal overview

The Journal of Business and Economic Statistics (JBES) serves as an outlet for high-quality methodological contributions oriented towards applications in microeconomics, macroeconomics, business, and finance. The innovations in methodology include the development and improvement of statistical methods; adapting methods from other fields, including machine learning and data science more broadly; as well as computational improvements. Theoretical contributions should have clear empirical relevance. Articles published in JBES feature excellent exposition, clear motivation, and often include a substantive empirical application.

JBES is indexed in the Current Index to Statistics and in ABI/INFORM. It is accessible through MathSci Online. JBES is abstracted in the Journal of Economic Literature and the online Economic Literature Index.
