Econometrics (ISSN 2225-1146) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal on econometric modelling and forecasting, as well as new advances in econometrics theory. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. For experimental papers, full experimental details are encouraged and allowed to be provided in the paper so that the results can be reproduced. Additionally, data sets are encouraged and allowed to be deposited and published along with the paper as supplementary materials in any meaningful format (preferred are CSV files or tabulated data, alternatively data files that can be used by common econometrics or statistics software, such as STATA, EVIEWS, MATLAB and R). Where a data set is subject to copyright, agreement is encouraged and allowed to be sought with the Editor-in-Chief as to the best means of ensuring the replicability of the results. Additionally, electronic files or programs to enable replication of the reported results (and enable confirmation of the associated calculations and experimental procedure, etc. should also be deposited along with the publication as supplementary material).
