Use when working with the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editorial team — the managing-editor-led model and the symposium structure — on scope, length, framing, and the invited/commissioned process. Handles editor interaction strategy; defer the final submission preflight to jep-submission and post-decision edits to jep-revision.

# Editor Strategy (jep-editor-strategy)

## When to trigger

- An editor invited you and you need to understand the working relationship
- Your article is part of a symposium and you must fit a shared frame and length
- Scope or length is in tension with what the editors want
- You are unsure how JEP's editor-driven, hands-on process differs from a refereed journal

## The JEP editorial model

JEP is run by an **editorial team led by editors and a long-serving managing editor**, and is **largely invited / commissioned** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). As of 2026 (editor roster re-verified 2026-06-22 against the AEA "Editors of the Journal of Economic Perspectives" page) the **Editor is Heidi Williams (Dartmouth)**; coeditors include **Jeffrey Kling** and **Jonathan Parker (MIT)**; the **Managing Editor is Timothy Taylor** (long-tenured), with an assistant managing editor — re-confirm the roster on the official editors page before relying on names. Unlike a refereed research journal, JEP review is **editor-driven and hands-on**: the editors actively shape framing, accessibility, and length, often across several rounds, rather than dispatching to anonymous referees. Expect direct, substantive editorial guidance and a strong house preference for readability.
