Use to understand how editorial handling and refereeing work at the Journal of International Economics (JIE) — the regular/short/PRP submission types, the Prior Review Process expedite option that carries decision letters and referee reports from AER/Econometrica/JPE/QJE/REStud, desk-reject odds, and (Co-)Editor routing between trade and international macro/finance. Sets expectations; it does not draft content.

# Review Process (jie-review-process)
## When to trigger
- You want to know what happens after you press submit at JIE
- Deciding whether the Prior Review Process (PRP) expedite path applies to you
- Calibrating expectations on desk-reject odds and acceptance rates
- Understanding why suggesting the right (Co-)Editor matters
## How JIE handling works (verified 2026-06-20)
JIE is an Elsevier journal whose official board lists **Editors Martin Uribe (Columbia) and Costas Arkolakis (Yale)** plus Co-Editors across **international trade** and **international macroeconomics/finance**. A handling editor whose profile matches your paper is assigned; you are advised to **suggest a fitting Editor or Co-Editor at submission**. The Guide states a **single anonymized** review model: editors first assess suitability, and suitable manuscripts are typically sent to at least two reviewers. Per Arkolakis's professional page, **regular-submission acceptance has historically run ~10-15%, with desk rejects around 25%**. A clean, scope-matched submission with credible identification or a disciplined structural model clears the first screen; a paper that is not original in its motivation or modelling structure does not.
Three submission types exist: **regular**, **Short Paper** (≤6,000 words and ≤5 exhibits), and **Prior Review Process (PRP)**.
