Empirical Economics

Empirical Economics publishes high quality papers using econometric or statistical methods to fill the gap between economic theory and observed data. Papers explore such topics as estimation of established relationships between economic variables, testing of hypotheses derived from economic theory, treatment effect estimation, policy evaluation, simulation, forecasting, as well as econometric methods and measurement.Empirical Economics emphasizes the replicability of empirical results. Replication studies of important results in the literature - both positive and negative results - may be published as short papers in Empirical Economics. Authors of all accepted papers and replications are required to submit all data and codes prior to publication (for more details, see: Instructions for Authors).The journal follows a single blind review procedure. In order to ensure the high quality of the journal and an efficient editorial process, a substantial number of submissions that have very poor chances of receiving positive reviews are routinely rejected without sending the papers for review.

实证经济学发表高质量的论文，使用计量经济学或统计方法来填补经济学理论和观测数据之间的空白。论文探讨了经济变量之间既定关系的估计、经济理论假设的检验、治疗效果估计、政策评估、模拟、预测以及计量经济学方法和测量。实证经济学强调实证结果的可复制性。对文献中重要结果(包括正面和负面结果)的重复研究可以作为实证经济学的短篇论文发表。所有被接受的论文和复制的作者必须在发表前提交所有的数据和代码(更多细节，请参见:作者说明)。该杂志遵循一个单一的盲审程序。为了确保期刊的高质量和有效的编辑过程，有相当数量的投稿，如果获得正面评价的机会很低，通常会被拒绝，而不把论文送去审查。
