The CJE is very happy to welcome its new Managing Editor : Francisco Ruge-Murcia, from the University of Montreal. The journal also welcomes Li Hao and Michael Baker, who joined the editorial board in July 2013. Michael Baker, from the University of Toronto handles micro-econometrics papers. Li Hao from the UBC handles non-trade theory papers. Mario Crucini, Josh Ederington and John Ries have all agreed to continue. It's a very strong editorial team for the future!

The CJE receives around 350 submissions per year and publishes around 60 of these papers. It 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 2012 the median time to a first decision was 116 days (less than four months).
