Econometrica

Econometrica is an academic journal of economics, publishing articles not only in econometrics but in many areas of economics. It is published by the Econometric Society and distributed by Wiley-Blackwell. Econometrica is one of the most highly ranked economics journals in the world [1] The current editor of Econometrica is Stephen Morris, Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics at Princeton University.

Econometrica was first published in 1933. Its first editor was Ragnar Frisch, recipient of the first Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1969, and who served as an editor from 1933 to 1954. Although Econometrica is currently published entirely in English, the first few issues contained scientific articles written in French.

The Econometric Society aims to attract high-quality applied work in economics for publication in Econometrica through the Frisch Medal. This prize is awarded every two years for an empirical or theoretical applied article published in Econometrica during the past five years.

Currently, its most widely cited article is a paper by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky on prospect theory.^[1]

According to Kim, E.H, Morse, A., and Zingales L.(2006),^[2] the most cited article in social and economic sciences and the most cited in Econometrica is White, H. (1980), "A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity", Econometrica, 48(4), 817–838^[3].
