Editors’ Report 2003

Eric G

HYSELS

and Alastair R. H

ALL

TheJournal_{received 228 submissions in 2003, slightly more}

than in the previous two years. These submissions span a wide range of areas in business and economic statistics, though the dominant fields are financial econometrics, labor, macro, mar-keting, Bayesian and general econometrics. Since some of these areas are overlapping it is difficult to put exact numbers on the share each field occupies. Manuscripts that appear to have tech-nical merit and demonstrated value are evaluated by an Asso-ciate Editor and by referees who are blind to the author’s names and affiliations. Table 1 summarizes the duration distribution for review times for new submissions in 2003. Note these fig-ures exclude resubmissions of manuscripts originally submitted in 2003 or prior years. In addition, Figures 1 and 2 present plots of the Kaplan–Meier estimates of the survivor function for, re-spectively, all new submissions in 2003 and those new submis-sions in 2003 that were reviewed by referees.

The editorial review process critically depends on the input of time and effort of our Associate Editors. We are grateful to our Board members for handling the manuscripts in a very timely and professional manner. We are obviously also indebted to the many Referees whose input is of paramount importance. We provide a list of the Editorial Collaborators following the figures.
