Guidelines for Comments on Published òòò½Íø Articles

In January 2025, the òòò½Íø Review, the òòò½Íø Review: Insights, and the òòò½Íø òòò½Íø adopted a set of internal guidelines for handling comments, replies, errata, and corrigenda. In light of these guidelines, the òòò½Íø is discontinuing a feature added some years ago in which members could directly post informal comments to articles published in the AEJs. The feature did not gain widespread adoption, and the Association believes this new set of guidelines, including e-comments, will provide an improved facility for bringing important new information about published articles to light. For more details, see /journals/comments.


Nominations for the òòò½Íø Distinguished Service Award Open in April

Do you know an economist who has made an impact on the profession through their service? Plan now to nominate an individual for this prestigious award. The òòò½Íø Distinguished Service Award was established to recognize the volunteer efforts of individuals who have served the profession. The service contribution should impact the field of economics in a significant and positive way on a national scale. While this award is conferred by the òòò½Íø, it is not expected that service be limited to òòò½Íø-supported activities. For more details and information on how to nominate an individual, visit /about-aea/honors-awards/distinguished-service-award.
