ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Frequency: 4 issues/year

Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics (JPE Macro) strives to publish high-quality theoretical and empirical research papers that address issues of relevance to macroeconomics. Macroeconomics is interpreted in a broad sense and includes issues related to the traditional macroeconomic topics of growth, fluctuations, and distribution, as well as issues that connect and interact with topics from monetary economics, labor economics, finance, trade, international economics, industrial organization, political economy, public finance, and development economics.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Submitting Your Paper

Manuscripts should be submitted via the Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics ( JPE Macro ) Editorial Manager (EM) site at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jpemacro .

Manuscripts must be in English and must begin with a title page that includes the names, e-mail addresses, and affiliations of all authors. The preferred format for submitting manuscripts online is Adobe Acrobat (.pdf). Editorial Manager will also accept Microsoft Word (.doc) and LaTeX (.tex). If you are submitting LaTeX files, please read the Editorial Manager and LaTeX Guide .

The EM system relies on automated processing to create an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file from your submission. Step-by-step instructions will guide you through the process, and you will receive an e-mail confirmation from the system when your submission is complete.

If you are unable to use the online submission feature, please contact the journal office at [email protected] for alternate means of submission.

Guidelines for Papers Previously Submitted to the Journal of Political Economy

The Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics ( JPE Macro ) will consider papers previously reviewed by the Journal of Political Economy . Authors of manuscripts previously reviewed by the JPE may request that, subject to the referees' agreement, the full correspondence files of the referees (including cover letters as well as referees' reports) be shared with the editors of JPE Macro , who will have the discretion to make a decision based on these reports or to request additional reports.

If you wish to take advantage of this option:

  • Answer YES to the submission question asking, “Has your paper previously been submitted to the JPE?”
  • When a request to share JPE correspondence and files has been made, the JPE will ensure that consent is sought from each referee to obtain his or her permission; if consent is granted, the JPE will forward all referee correspondence to the JPE Macro editor.
  • Only reviews from consenting referees will be shared, along with the original manuscript and decision letter.

If you DO NOT wish the JPE Macro editors to see the file of a paper previously submitted to the JPE or seek consent to share any reviews, then answer NO to the submission question asking if you would like the materials from your review to be forwarded to the JPE Macro editors. In this case, the paper will then proceed as a normal submission and be subject to the peer-review process outlined below.

For papers previously submitted to JPE , the process at JPE Macro depends on whether the manuscript submitted is identical to the JPE manuscript, and whether the paper has been explicitly invited by either a JPE or a JPE Macro editor for consideration at JPE Macro :

  • Please indicate the name of the editor who invited the submission.
  • If the invitation outlined revisions to be completed, please submit a response letter to the editor describing the changes you have made since the JPE version.
  • If changes were made in response to the JPE referees, please also include response letters to them.
  • Please submit a brief letter to the editor describing the main changes you would make to the paper in response to the main comments raised by the JPE referees if given the opportunity to revise the paper for JPE Macro .
  • A detailed response letter to each referee is not required.
  • Please submit a response letter to the editor describing the changes you have made since the JPE version.
  • If the changes you made were in response to the JPE referees, please also include response letters to them.
  • Although all decisions are left to the discretion of the handling editor, since these papers are different from the paper reviewed by the JPE referees, we expect that papers in this category are more likely to require additional refereeing before a possible decision to proceed at JPE Macro .

Statement of Policy

Papers submitted to the Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics (JPE Macro) must not have been published and must not be under consideration elsewhere. All theoretical and empirical findings in papers submitted to the JPE Macro should be documented clearly and appropriately in proofs, tables, or figures, either in the manuscript or in a supplemental appendix meant to be posted online. This applies both to the principal findings of the paper and to any sensitivity analysis or extensions referenced in the manuscript.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all appropriate authors are named on the manuscript and that all authors have seen and approved the final version of the submitted manuscript and have agreed to its submission for publication. If the editor requests revisions, the corresponding author must guarantee that all authors have approved changes made in the revised version. The corresponding author must also ensure that all authors have signed off on the publication agreement and final proofs if a paper is accepted for publication.

Authors of comments must correspond with original author(s) and include this correspondence with the cover letter at the time of submission.

Data Policy

It is the policy of the Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics ( JPE Macro ) to publish papers only if the data used in the analysis are clearly and precisely documented and are readily available to any researcher for purposes of replication. Authors of accepted papers, in particular those that contain empirical work, simulations, experimental work, or numerical computations, must provide, prior to publication, the data, programs, and other details of the computations sufficient to permit replication. The editor should be notified at the time of submission if the data used in a paper are proprietary or if, for some other reason, the requirements above cannot be met. Details of this policy can be found by clicking here .

Submission Fee

All manuscripts submitted to the JPE Macro must be accompanied by a $100 submission fee. This includes papers that were previously submitted to Journal of Political Economy .

Please click here to pay your submission fee: https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/JSFCC/main?prodid=EMA836

Please note that credit card charges are collected through the University of Chicago Press business office and will appear as PRESS BOOKS and JOURNALS on your credit card statement.

In appreciation of our most productive reviewers, the JPE Macro offers a fee waiver to authors who have completed three or more referee reports for the journal in the 12 consecutive months prior to submission. Please contact the JPE Macro office ( [email protected] ) to confirm eligibility and to indicate that you would like to use this benefit.

Proceeds from submission fees are used to offset review process expenses. Decisions will not be released until the fee has been submitted or waived, and submission fees are non-refundable, even in cases when a manuscript is desk rejected by a JPE Macro editor and not sent for outside review.

Peer Review Process

The Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics ( JPE Macro ) uses a single-blind system of peer review. Each manuscript is initially assessed by a JPE Macro editor for suitability and quality and either rejected without peer review or sent for further review with outside referees. The editor may confer with other JPE Macro editors or, in the case of a paper previously reviewed by the Journal of Political Economy, the JPE editor who handled the paper. Acceptance is conditional on revisions made by the author(s) at the editor's request. Authors of accepted manuscripts will be required to provide final editable files, as well as requested online material, and will be given a chance to approve typeset proofs before final publication.

JPE Macro editors alone are responsible for deciding which of the manuscripts submitted to the journal will be published. Editor decisions are fully independent of the University of Chicago Press (which has no role in peer review or editorial decisions) and are also independent of the business aspects of publication handled by the publisher, such as licensing, advertising, and marketing. 

Each editorial decision is made on the basis of the manuscript's intellectual content and its presentation, without regard for any author's institutional affiliation, country of origin, or other personal characteristics and also without regard to whether the author(s) have requested author-paid free access for readers ("Open Access").

In case of a revise-and-resubmit decision, revisions of manuscripts should be sent back within less than a year of the date of the decision letter. If more time is required, authors can contact the editor handling the paper and ask for an extension, which can be granted by the editor at their discretion. Manuscripts that reach the office after that deadline and without a granted extension may be assigned to a different editor.

Errors and Corrections

A substantive error in a published article is corrected, at the direction of the editor and the publisher, as a published correction that becomes part of the permanent scholarly record. Substantive errors are always noted in the journal, typically with a formal erratum notice. Minor errors, such as typographical or other mistakes that do not impede comprehension, are not formally corrected.

If a manuscript is accepted for publication in the Journal of Political Economy Macro , the authors are required to sign a publication agreement that assigns copyright to the University of Chicago. Research by authors who were U.S. government employees at the time the contribution is prepared as part of their official duties is in the public domain and does not require assignment of copyright.

Open Access Policy

Green open access. Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics authors have the ability, at no cost, to self-archive their own work and make it freely available through official, non-commercial institutional or disciplinary repositories. Authors may deposit either the published PDF of their article or the final accepted version of the manuscript after peer review (but not proofs of the article) no sooner than twelve (12) months after publication of the article in the journal. If a shorter embargo period is required by government or funding body mandate, please notify the editorial office at the time you submit your manuscript.

Gold open access. Authors can request that their article be made freely available online immediately upon publication (gold open access). The fee is $2,500. This request must be made at the time of acceptance, not later. The gold OA option is provided primarily for authors with research funding from an organization that mandates gold OA as a condition of publication, and if that is the case then it is expected that the funder and the grant would be noted in the acknowledgments of the manuscript, in the conventional manner. Gold OA can also be requested by authors who do not have such a mandate from a funder, in which case the request is granted at the discretion of the publisher. Contact the editorial office at the time of acceptance for additional details.

Articles published as gold OA are made available under a CC BY-NC license, which allows for their non-commercial reuse. If a CC BY or other license is required by your funding body, please notify the editorial office at the time of acceptance. Articles published under a CC BY license are subject to a fee of $5,000.

Conflicts of Interest

The Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics seeks to avoid conflicts of interests for editors, in which the relationship to the authors could bias judgement of the manuscript. Therefore, editors are generally not assigned manuscripts by an individual who has served as the main graduate student advisor of the editor, or where the editor had a key advising role for the individual as a graduate student, or where the individual is an active and recent co-author of the editor, or where the editor or the lead editor judges there to be a concern due to some other close relationship.

Authors are required to declare and acknowledge any material conflict of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any people, organizations, companies, or institutions connected to the manuscript.

Peer reviewers are asked to disclose potential material conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to a manuscript they have been invited to review. Every reviewer is required to treat each manuscript received for review as confidential, whether they agree to review it or not.

Research Misconduct

Before publication, the Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics ( JPE Macro ) editors, working with peer reviewers and the University of Chicago Press, take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of manuscripts that show evidence of research misconduct. (Research misconduct includes but is not limited to plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification and/or fabrication.) After publication, if the JPE Macro editors or the University of Chicago Press are made aware of an allegation of research misconduct relating to a published article in the journal, the allegations will be addressed by the lead editor in consultation with the assigned editor and the University of Chicago Press. Where applicable, they may follow the guidelines published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) .

Complaints and Appeals

Complaints and appeals should first be raised with the editor assigned to the original manuscript in question. If necessary, complainants and appellants may next contact the lead editor.

Central Banks Missed Inflation Red Flags. This Pricing Model Could Help.

The steep inflation that plagued the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic took many economists by surprise. But research by Alberto Cavallo suggests that a different method of tracking prices—a real-time model—could predict future surges better.

Land Institutions and Chinese Political Economy: Institutional Complementarities and Macroeconomic Management

This paper shows the ways in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has used land as a policy tool. CCP leaders intentionally reorganized fiscal, financial, and land institutions to put land at the center of local government finances in the mid-1990s. Since the late 1990s, the CCP has used the land supply as a key tool of macroeconomic expansion and contraction. Local officials act as agents of the center: pursuing land development when pushed to so do by central authorities concerned about managing economic growth.

  • Research & Outlook

Macroeconomics and Growth

The following big questions guide the Macroeconomics and Growth Research work program:

1) What are the determinants of macroeconomic outcomes (especially growth)? How are those outcomes linked to institutions and resource allocation at the micro level?

2) What is the role of governments in raising and allocating resources? What should governments do over the long run and in response to shocks?

The work program is organized around the following interrelated areas:

  • Growth : Macro, regional (local), sectoral, firm growth; labor markets and human capital
  • Firms and Aggregate Outcomes : Allocation of production and finance; competition
  • Public economics/public finance : Domestic revenue mobilization, taxation, debt; government spending (fiscal policy, infrastructure, procurement); governance and institutions
  • International economics : International and domestic financial markets; exchange rates and monetary policy; globalization

Choosing Macroeconomics Research Paper Topics

Choosing a research paper topic can be a challenging task, especially in a field as vast as macroeconomics. Here are some expert tips to help you narrow down your options and choose a topic that is both interesting and feasible:

  • Start with a general idea : Begin by thinking about the broad areas of macroeconomics that interest you the most, such as monetary policy, international trade, or business cycles. This will give you a starting point for your research and help you identify potential research questions.
  • Consider current events : Look for topics that are relevant to current economic issues or policy debates. This can help you stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field and make your research more timely and relevant.
  • Focus on a specific aspect : Once you have a general idea, narrow it down to a specific aspect or question within that area. This will help you avoid tackling too broad of a topic and ensure that your research is focused and manageable.
  • Check available resources : Before finalizing your topic, make sure that there is enough literature and data available to support your research. This will save you time and ensure that you have the necessary resources to complete your research.
  • Consult with your professor : Your professor can provide valuable feedback and guidance on your topic selection. They may also be able to suggest additional resources or offer ideas for potential research questions.
  • Be flexible : Don’t be afraid to modify or adjust your topic as you go along. As you conduct your research, you may discover new angles or ideas that you hadn’t considered before. Being flexible will allow you to adapt to new information and ensure that your research remains relevant and engaging.

By following these tips, you can narrow down your options and choose a research paper topic that is both interesting and feasible.

Pakistan has suffered from pervasive corruption since its foundation. It deals with an unstable political atmosphere and unsustainable economic development due to its fragile institutional setting. The predominance of military power that does not hesitate to overrule any government when it faces a potential threat to its economic-profit channels plays an important role in institutional fragility. Moreover, incompetent civilian rules and the British heritage comprise a vicious cycle that is hard to break. An anemic institutional environment struggles within an embedded cultural structure exacerbated by corruption. This paper discusses corruption in Pakistan from historical, institutional, and economic standpoints. It provides a historical background of corruption. Then, it analyzes the negative economic reverberations of the corruption phenomenon. As an institutional case study, the paper concentrates on National Accountability Bureau (NAB), suggesting that institutional quality can be accomplished through bureaucratic accountability and determination, not through political victimization and abuse of institutions.

Research the White Paper

Researching the white paper:.

The process of researching and composing a white paper shares some similarities with the kind of research and writing one does for a high school or college research paper. What’s important for writers of white papers to grasp, however, is how much this genre differs from a research paper.  First, the author of a white paper already recognizes that there is a problem to be solved, a decision to be made, and the job of the author is to provide readers with substantive information to help them make some kind of decision--which may include a decision to do more research because major gaps remain. 

Thus, a white paper author would not “brainstorm” a topic. Instead, the white paper author would get busy figuring out how the problem is defined by those who are experiencing it as a problem. Typically that research begins in popular culture--social media, surveys, interviews, newspapers. Once the author has a handle on how the problem is being defined and experienced, its history and its impact, what people in the trenches believe might be the best or worst ways of addressing it, the author then will turn to academic scholarship as well as “grey” literature (more about that later).  Unlike a school research paper, the author does not set out to argue for or against a particular position, and then devote the majority of effort to finding sources to support the selected position.  Instead, the author sets out in good faith to do as much fact-finding as possible, and thus research is likely to present multiple, conflicting, and overlapping perspectives. When people research out of a genuine desire to understand and solve a problem, they listen to every source that may offer helpful information. They will thus have to do much more analysis, synthesis, and sorting of that information, which will often not fall neatly into a “pro” or “con” camp:  Solution A may, for example, solve one part of the problem but exacerbate another part of the problem. Solution C may sound like what everyone wants, but what if it’s built on a set of data that have been criticized by another reliable source?  And so it goes. 

For example, if you are trying to write a white paper on the opioid crisis, you may focus on the value of  providing free, sterilized needles--which do indeed reduce disease, and also provide an opportunity for the health care provider distributing them to offer addiction treatment to the user. However, the free needles are sometimes discarded on the ground, posing a danger to others; or they may be shared; or they may encourage more drug usage. All of those things can be true at once; a reader will want to know about all of these considerations in order to make an informed decision. That is the challenging job of the white paper author.     
 The research you do for your white paper will require that you identify a specific problem, seek popular culture sources to help define the problem, its history, its significance and impact for people affected by it.  You will then delve into academic and grey literature to learn about the way scholars and others with professional expertise answer these same questions. In this way, you will create creating a layered, complex portrait that provides readers with a substantive exploration useful for deliberating and decision-making. You will also likely need to find or create images, including tables, figures, illustrations or photographs, and you will document all of your sources.

Title: can llms generate novel research ideas a large-scale human study with 100+ nlp researchers.

Abstract: Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have sparked optimism about their potential to accelerate scientific discovery, with a growing number of works proposing research agents that autonomously generate and validate new ideas. Despite this, no evaluations have shown that LLM systems can take the very first step of producing novel, expert-level ideas, let alone perform the entire research process. We address this by establishing an experimental design that evaluates research idea generation while controlling for confounders and performs the first head-to-head comparison between expert NLP researchers and an LLM ideation agent. By recruiting over 100 NLP researchers to write novel ideas and blind reviews of both LLM and human ideas, we obtain the first statistically significant conclusion on current LLM capabilities for research ideation: we find LLM-generated ideas are judged as more novel (p < 0.05) than human expert ideas while being judged slightly weaker on feasibility. Studying our agent baselines closely, we identify open problems in building and evaluating research agents, including failures of LLM self-evaluation and their lack of diversity in generation. Finally, we acknowledge that human judgements of novelty can be difficult, even by experts, and propose an end-to-end study design which recruits researchers to execute these ideas into full projects, enabling us to study whether these novelty and feasibility judgements result in meaningful differences in research outcome.
