Submission Preflight (aejmic-submission)
When to trigger
"Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on the AEA system
Unsure which files, codes, and fees the AEA submission expects
Confirming the abstract, format, and data/code requirements are met
Verifying the data/code availability requirements before submission
Process facts (检索于 2026-06；editor + fees re-verified 2026-06-22；以官网为准)
AEJ: Micro is one of the AEA's four field journals (founded 2009 — 待核实, quarterly); submission is through the AEA submission/editorial system. Editor (re-verified 2026-06-22): Navin Kartik (Yale, since Fall 2025); coeditors Ali, Bonatti, Rozen, Xu — re-verify the masthead before submission.
Single-blind review: the author's name is revealed to referees, while referees remain anonymous to authors. There is no anonymization requirement — but state author info, acknowledgments, and funding professionally.
Abstract:100 words or fewer (required). JEL classification per AEA practice; keywords expected.
Submission fee: AEA members $200 (high-income) / $100 (middle-income) / $0 (low-income); nonmembers $300 / $200 / $0; scaled by membership and country income classification. Papers rejected without review are refunded 50%. (Amounts volatile — confirm on the AEA submissions page.)
Publication fee:$15 per typeset page assessed at page proofs (papers submitted after Feb 1, 2024) — distinct from the submission fee.
Data & code: the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy (administered by the AEA Data Editor, Lars Vilhuber) applies to papers with empirical work, simulations, or experimental work; deposit to the AEA Data and Code Repository (openICPSR); verified before acceptance. Pure-theory papers still deposit numerical/simulation code.
House style: AEA style; proofs in appendix where long; numerical examples to illustrate; report standard errors (not asterisks) for empirical/experimental work.
What to expect after submit: a co-editor screens for fit and may desk-reject without referees; otherwise expert referees verify the proofs. Choose JEL codes that route the paper to a co-editor in the right subfield (see aejmic-referee-strategy).
Preflight checklist
Front matter & format
Abstract ≤100 words (hard limit)
JEL codes and keywords present
Numbered propositions/theorems; proofs self-contained (main text or appendix)
Figures/tables legible; no significance asterisks for inference — report SEs / coverage sets
AEA/LaTeX formatting per the current author guidelines
Author info, acknowledgments, and funding stated professionally (single-blind: no anonymization)
Files, fees & data
Manuscript PDF + any separate files the system requires
Submission fee ready (member $200/$100/$0 by income; nonmember higher) — confirm current amount
Aware of the $15/typeset-page publication fee at proofs (not now)
Data/code deposit prepared if the paper has empirical/simulation/experimental work; theory-only numerics code prepared too
