Journal of Business & Economic Statistics
Encyclopedia
The Journal of Business and Economic Statistics (JBES) is an academic journal
, published quarterly by the American Statistical Association
. The journal publishes articles dealing with a broad range of applied problems in business
and economic statistics
. The topics include forecasting
, seasonal adjustment
, applied demand and cost analysis, applied econometric model
ing, empirical finance, analysis of survey
and longitudinal data related to business and economic problems, the impact of discrimination on wages and productivity, the returns to education and training, the effects of unionization, and applications of stochastic control theory
to business and economic problems. Many of the articles published in the journal contain empirical applications, though submissions of papers in the areas of computation
, simulation
, networking, and graphics are encouraged as long as the intended applications are very closely related to the general topics of interest of the journal.
