ectheory-review-process

separate

Use to understand and prepare for the Econometric Theory (ET) review process — single-anonymous refereeing (reviewers see the author), the Article/Miscellanea/ET-Interview article types, and war-gaming the proof-checking referee before submitting.

When to use

• Anticipate how ET referees will read a theorem-proof paper
• Understand single-anonymous review implications for anonymization
• Choose among ET article types (Article, Miscellanea, ET Interview)
• War-game objections a careful theory referee will raise
• Stress-test assumptions for necessity and leading examples
• Verify hard proof steps and limit claims
• Add boundary-case simulations pre-emptively
• Screen for desk-reject red flags in theory papers

When not to use

• Targeting the invited ET Interview as a submission
• Double-blind-style anonymization
• Submitting with known proof gaps
• Framing a corollary of existing theory as a major Article
• Simulations that avoid the regime where approximation is weakest
