"name": "jie-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of International Economics (JIE) via Elsevier's Editorial Manager — the non-refundable submission fee, the regular\/short\/PRP Article Type choice, the 150-word abstract, 1-7 keywords, suggesting a fitting (Co-)Editor, and reference completeness. Final checks; it does not draft content."

Submission Preflight (jie-submission)
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on Editorial Manager
- Deciding between a regular, short, or Prior Review Process (PRP) submission
- Confirming the abstract, keywords, and reference completeness are JIE-compliant
- Making sure the submission fee and editor-suggestion steps are handled
Process facts (verified 2026-06-20; editors + fee re-verified 2026-06-22; re-confirm on the official guide)
- JIE is published by Elsevier; submission is through Editorial Manager. The official board lists Editors Martin Uribe (Columbia) and Costas Arkolakis (Yale) (re-verified 2026-06-22), with Co-Editors spanning trade and international macro/finance; re-confirm the masthead before naming an editor.
- There is a non-refundable submission fee of USD 190 / EUR 169.20 / JPY 20,660, reduced to USD 95 when every author is a PhD student; VAT is added for authors in relevant European countries. Fee revenue funds JIE summer schools and the biennial Jagdish Bhagwati Award for the best paper in the journal.
- Submission types: regular, Short Paper, or PRP. Short Papers are capped at 6,000 words and 5 exhibits, must be self-contained, and require a separate word-count PDF. For PRP, attach the editorial decision letter and all referee reports from a rejection at AER, Econometrica, JPE, QJE, or Review of Economic Studies and select 'PRP' from the Article Type menu; there is no extra fee versus a regular submission.
- Abstract ≤ 150 words, concise/factual, single paragraph, references avoided (cite author(s)/year(s) only if essential). Provide 1-7 keywords.
- Authors are advised to suggest an Editor or Co-Editor whose profile fits the paper (trade vs international macro/finance).
- Reference style is applied by Elsevier at the proof stage; submit in any consistent style as long as required elements are present (DOIs encouraged).
- JIE follows a single anonymized review process; suitable submissions are typically sent to a minimum of two reviewers. Do not assert a regular-paper word cap from the Short Paper rule.
Preflight checklist
Article Type & fit
- Type chosen: regular / Short Paper / PRP (PRP only if you hold a qualifying AER/Econometrica/JPE/QJE/REStud letter + reports)
- If PRP: decision letter and referee reports attached; 'PRP' selected as Article Type
- If Short Paper: ≤6,000 words, ≤5 exhibits, self-contained, word-count PDF prepared
- Suggested Editor or Co-Editor whose profile matches the paper's trade or macro/finance focus
Format & style
- Abstract is a single factual paragraph, ≤ 150 words, references avoided
- 1-7 keywords provided; field-discoverable
- References complete (author names, title, year, volume, article number/pages); DOIs added where available
- Tables and figures numbered, called out in order, with self-contained notes
- JEL codes prepared only if requested by the live submission system
Files & declarations
- Manuscript file plus any online appendix staged for Editorial Manager
- Cover letter (concise: question, method, headline result, trade-vs-macro fit, suggested editor)
- Replication code + data staged for the JIE secure repository (see jie-replication-and-data-policy)
- Conflict-of-interest / funding disclosures prepared; confirmed not under review elsewhere
Fee
- Submission fee budgeted: USD 190 / EUR 169.20 / JPY 20,660 (USD 95 if all authors are PhD students); VAT noted for European authors
Last-mile sanity pass before you press submit
Three errors cause the most avoidable bounces, all fixable in minutes: editor mismatch (a trade paper with no suggested trade editor risks routing to a macro editor, and vice versa — set the suggestion to your scope half); a PRP misfire (selecting PRP without a qualifying AER/Econometrica/JPE/QJE/REStud letter plus the full reports, favorable and critical); and an over-long or citation-laden abstract (the cap is 150 words, references avoided). Re-confirm the fee amount, editor roster, and upload flow against the live author guide before relying on them.
Anti-patterns
- Treating the fee as refundable or skipping it (submission will not proceed)
- Selecting PRP without a qualifying letter from one of the five named journals
- A 250-word, citation-laden abstract (cap is 150 words, references avoided)
- Not suggesting an editor, so trade work lands with a macro editor or vice versa
- Applying the Short Paper cap to a regular submission, or selecting Short Paper without the word-count PDF
