Theoretical Economics

Theoretical Economics aims to be the leading journal in economic theory. It publishes papers in both pure and applied theory. Papers with empirical or experimental content will be considered, though a paper must contain a substantial and innovative theoretical component to be accepted. The journal seeks to keep speed up the review process and make final decisions on the second round.
