# American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (aej-microeconomics)
## Journal positioning
AEJ: Microeconomics is the American Economic Association's field home for microeconomic theory one tier below AER's general-interest bar. It publishes micro theory, game theory, mechanism and market design, and theoretical IO — theoretical contributions with general results, established formally. The contribution can be field-specific rather than discipline-wide, but the theory must be correct, general, and economically interesting; this is the home for serious theory that is excellent but narrower than a top-5 or Econometrica swing.
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 AEA site and the editorial-manager submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names AEJ: Micro as the target, or is stepping down from a top-5 / Econometrica theory submission.
- A paper offers a micro-theory, game-theory, mechanism-design, or theoretical-IO contribution with general results.
- A strong theory paper is excellent but narrower than AER's general-interest bar and needs the right theory home.
- The author needs AEJ: Micro's desk-reject risks and a credible top-5 / theory-field alternative list.
