《應用計量經濟學雜志》是一本國際期刊，每兩個月出版一期，另加一期（共7期）。它的目的是出版高質量的文章，涉及現有的和新的計量技術在經濟學和相關學科的各種問題上的應用，涵蓋測量、估計、測試、預測和政策分析的主題。重點是認真、嚴謹地應用計量經濟學技術，并對結果進行適當的解釋。強調文章的經濟內容。《華爾街日報》的一個特點是它強調了其他研究者對結果的可復制性。為了實現這一目標，作者需要提供一套完整的數據，以及通過易于訪問的媒介（最好是以機器可讀的形式）使用的任何專門的計算機程序。重點介紹了微機在應用研究和數據傳輸中的應用。《華爾街日報》還特地刊登了一些短篇論文，這些短篇論文對先前發表的論文進行了重新評估。《應用計量經濟學雜志》的目的是為經濟學中的創新、定量研究提供一個出口，這種研究跨越了專業領域，涉及可轉移的技術，并且很容易被其他研究者復制。積極鼓勵采用適用于各種經濟問題的統計方法的捐款。該雜志還旨在發表評論和調查文章，使理論和應用計量經濟學領域的最新發展更容易被應用經濟學家普遍接受。

The Journal of Applied Econometrics is an international journal published bi-monthly, plus 1 additional issue (total 7 issues). It aims to publish articles of high quality dealing with the application of existing as well as new econometric techniques to a wide variety of problems in economics and related subjects, covering topics in measurement, estimation, testing, forecasting, and policy analysis. The emphasis is on the careful and rigorous application of econometric techniques and the appropriate interpretation of the results. The economic content of the articles is stressed.A special feature of the Journal is its emphasis on the replicability of results by other researchers. To achieve this aim, authors are expected to make available a complete set of the data used as well as any specialised computer programs employed through a readily accessible medium, preferably in a machine-readable form. The use of microcomputers in applied research and transferability of data is emphasised. The Journal also features occasional sections of short papers re-evaluating previously published papers.The intention of the Journal of Applied Econometrics is to provide an outlet for innovative, quantitative research in economics which cuts across areas of specialisation, involves transferable techniques, and is easily replicable by other researchers. Contributions that introduce statistical methods that are applicable to a variety of economic problems are actively encouraged. The Journal also aims to publish review and survey articles that make recent developments in the field of theoretical and applied econometrics more readily accessible to applied economists in general.
