Past Announcements
Announcement of the Editors in the December 2005 Issue:
Effective July 1, 2005, Deborah Lucas from Northwestern University replaced Mark Flannery as a co-editor of the JMCB. We thank Mark Flannery for his years of service to JMCB. We remain committed to publishing high quality empirical and theoretical work in areas including but not limited to macro and monetary economics, credit markets, and financial institutions. In response to a sharp increase in the number of submitted papers, we will increase the number of issues per year from six to eight for 2006. In addition, in order to reduce the large backlog of accepted papers, we will increase the number of pages in the 2006 volume. We plan to continue this policy of increased pages per issue until we reduce the time between acceptance and publication to twelve months or less.
Announcement of the Editors in the October 2004 Issue:
We started a new section entitled "Shorter Papers, Discussions, and Letters" in the April 2004 issue. We intend to use the new section as a means of quickly publishing concise communications concerning new results, models and methods in all areas of macroeconomics, money and banking, and related, applied econometrics issues. Shorter papers and discussions will be treated in the same way as regular papers. When notes that are shorter than 4 typed pages (or 1600 words), including diagrams, figures, tables, etc., we will treat them as letters, and we will try to make quicker decisions on them than other submissions. In addition to letters on academic research, the Editors will also publish letters on policy issues, replications, comments, corrections, and discussions. We solicited submissions for the new section from associate editors last Fall when we started to plan for the new section, and the papers that are forthcoming in the new section are posted in this JMCB homepage.
