The Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) is a field leader in macroeconomics and monetary economics, carrying the Carnegie-Rochester-NYU conference heritage of quantitative theory disciplined by data. It publishes work on business cycles, monetary and fiscal policy, inflation, growth, and the macro mechanisms that link them — typically a model that speaks to a macro question and is taken seriously to the data. The readership is macroeconomists, so a paper must matter for how the profession thinks about aggregate fluctuations or policy, not just fit a series well.
