2020 Report of the Monograph Series
REPORT OF THE EDITORS OF THE MONOGRAPH SERIES
THE GOAL OF THE SERIES is to promote the publication of high-quality research works in the fields of Economic Theory, Econometrics, and Quantitative Economics more generally. Publications may range frommore or less extensive accounts of the state of the art in a field to which the authors have made significant contributions to shorter monographs representing important advances on more specific issues. In addition to the usual promotion by the Publisher (Cambridge University Press) in their advertising and displays at conferences, it also arranges for members of the Econometric Society to receive monographs at a special discount.

Econometrica Editors' Report, 2019-2020
THE THREE TABLES BELOW provide summary statistics on the editorial process in the form presented in previous editors’ reports. Table I indicates that we received 1205 new submissions this year. This number is the highest ever, and reflects a growing trend in the last few years. The number of accepted papers (77) has increased from last year’s 60. Table III gives data on the time to first decision for decisions made in this reporting year, with 73% of papers decided within three months and 97% decided within six months. Decision times for revisions were 56% returned within three months and 92% within six months. Table IV provides information about the total time to publication for accepted articles. Papers accepted during 2019–2020 spent an average of 9 months in the hands of the journal (adding up all “rounds”) and 17 months in the hands of the authors (carrying out revisions) prior to final acceptance; the time between acceptance and publication averaged 6 months.
