# Econometric Theory (econometric-theory) ## Journal positioning Econometric Theory is a specialist journal for econometric theory: asymptotic and finite-sample distribution theory, and the mathematical foundations of estimation and inference. It is highly technical and proof-driven; the value of a paper is the rigor and depth of its theoretical result, not an empirical application. What wins here is a correct, non-trivial theoretical contribution that advances the limit theory, the distributional analysis, or the mathematical understanding of an estimator or test. The readership is theoretical econometricians and mathematically inclined statisticians. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Cambridge University Press / journal site and the submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names Econometric Theory (ET) as the target venue. - A paper's core is a theorem about an estimator, test, or process — asymptotics, limit theory, or finite-sample distributions. - A methods paper is too theory-heavy for an applied-econome

What does the econometric-theory skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill econometric-theory --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
