Theoretical Econometrics and Applied Econometrics

Dear Colleagues, 

Theoretical econometrics and applied econometrics are two fundamental branches of economics that have significant implications for economic policy and decision making. Theoretical econometrics focuses on the development of mathematical models and statistical methods with which to analyze economic phenomena, while applied econometrics applies these models and methods to real-world data and problems. This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research in theoretical and applied econometrics, addressing theoretical and practical challenges in econometrics with the goal of advancing the state of the art in the field. 

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: time-series econometric; panel data analysis; nonparametric and semiparametric methods; machine learning and econometrics; causal inference and program evaluation; financial econometrics; and econometric forecasting. 

We welcome researchers in related areas to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications that present new insights, methods, or applications in theoretical and applied econometrics. All papers will be subject to the journal’s standard review process and undergo a rigorous peer-review process. 

Submission Guidelines:

Manuscripts should be submitted online through the journal's website. All papers will be reviewed according to the journal's standard review process. Papers must be original and not submitted or published elsewhere.
