The CJE welcomes Joanne Roberts and Mario Crucini, who joined the editorial board in July 2010. Joanne handles public finance and micro theory papers, and Mario handles primarily macroeconomics, international finance, and time-series econometrics. The CJE receives around 300 submissions per year and publishes around 60 of these papers. The CJE is a general interest journal that welcomes submissions in all fields but we also have a reputation as a very good international trade journal with a concentration of both theoretical and empirical trade articles. In 2009 the median time to a first decision was 116 days (less than four months).
