Use when targeting International Economic Review (IER) or deciding whether a technically rigorous economics manuscript in theory, econometrics, or macro fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# International Economic Review (international-economic-review)

## Journal positioning

IER is a leading general-economics journal with particular strength in economic theory, econometrics, and macroeconomics, known for technical rigor. It rewards papers that make a clean, formal contribution — a theoretical result, a structural/econometric advance, or a quantitative-macro analysis executed with precision. The readership is technically oriented economists, so the bar is on rigor and the generality of the contribution, not on broad popular appeal.

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 journal/Wiley site and the editorial submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names IER as the target venue, or wants a rigorous general-economics home for theory/econometrics/macro.
- A technically demanding paper is excellent but narrower than a top-5 general-interest result.
- A structural or theoretical paper needs re-framing so the formal contribution and its generality are foregrounded.
- The author needs IER's desk-reject risks and a credible theory/econometrics/macro alternative list.
