The Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) has been published quarterly since 1983 by the American Statistical Association. The journal publishes a range of articles, primarily applied statistical analyses of microeconomic, macroeconomic, forecasting, business, and finance related topics.
It also serves as a unique meeting place for applied economists, econometricians, and statisticians developing appropriate empirical methodologies for a broad range of topics in business and economics. It has been consistently ranked among the top ten of all economics journals in recent surveys. The coverage includes forecasting, data quality, policy evaluation, all topics in empirical economics, finance, marketing, etc. Articles published in JBES contain significant results, high-quality methodological content, excellent exposition. Publication typically requires a significant methodological contribution and a substantive practical application. However, JBES will also publish within the areas of computation, simulation, networking and graphics as long as the intended applications are closely related to general topics of interest for the journal.
