# Journal of Business and Economic Statistics (journal-of-business-and-economic-statistics)

## Journal positioning

JBES is an American Statistical Association journal at the interface of statistics and econometrics, publishing both methodological contributions and serious applications to business and economic data. Its territory is time series and forecasting, microeconometrics, and statistical methods applied to economic problems, with the dual standard of statistical soundness and economic relevance. The readership spans statisticians and econometricians, so a paper must be rigorous as method and meaningful as economics/business.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ASA / Taylor & Francis site and the editorial submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JBES as the target venue, or wants a statistics/econometrics-interface home.
- A paper develops a statistical/econometric method with a clear business or economic application.
- A time-series, forecasting, or microeconometric paper needs re-framing so the methodological contribution and rigor are foregrounded.
- The author needs JBES's desk-reject risks and a credible methods-interface alternative list.
