American Economic Journal: Economic Policy: Submissions
Submission Policy
Any paper submitted to the AEJ: Economic Policy should NOT be under consideration for publication at another journal. All submitted papers must also represent original work, and should fully reference and describe all prior work on the same subject and compare the submitted paper to that work.
Submission fees must be paid by credit card at the time of submission. We are unable to review manuscripts that have been previously rejected by the AEJ: Economic Policy. The AEJ: Economic Policy reserves the right to reject papers without review.
Authors should also indicate, either in their cover letter or in the title page referred to below or both, whether the research reported in their paper was the result of a for-pay consulting relationship or if they or their employer has a financial interest in the topic of the paper which might constitute a conflict of interest.
Source information for tables, figures, maps, photos, and other artwork
should be mentioned in the captions. For material that is copyrighted, you
must obtain a letter of permission from the copyright holder. In the US, Canada, EU countries, and Japan, copyright is automatically
granted for photos to the owner(s) of the photos.
