ectheory-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a result is the right kind of contribution for Econometric Theory (ET) — a general, foundational econometric-theory result (asymptotics, proofs, theorems) rather than an applied estimate, and whether it fits a full Article or a short Miscellanea.

# Topic Selection (ectheory-topic-selection)
## When to trigger
- You have a new estimator, limit result, or proof and are choosing a target journal
- Unsure whether the result is "ET-foundational" or really an applied/empirical paper
- Deciding between a full **Article** and a short **Miscellanea**
- Wondering whether the result fits one of ET's themed special-issue directions
## The ET fit bar
ET rewards **rigorous, general contributions to the mathematical and statistical foundations of
econometrics** — asymptotic theory, probability-theoretic methods, time-series and nonstationarity
theory, high-dimensional and non-standard environments. The question to answer first: *does this
