Guidelines for referees at Theoretical EconomicsBefore accepting to referee a paper, a referee should ensure that they do not have a conflict of interest. The econometric society's code of conduct is also an important reference for referees (especially for those who are members of the econometric society). Typical Ph.D. programs don't cover the practicalities of writing a good referee report. Here are some guidelines for the young economist. Many people have their own styles. We aim to cover the common principles on which almost everyone agrees. The primary purpose of the report is to help the Editor make a decision. If your recommend a revision, you should provide sufficient conditions for publication. Avoid asking for additional material unless it would change the paper qualitatively; refrain from requesting speculative and lateral additions. Indeed, suggestions for how to make the paper shorter and more focused are generally welcome at TE. It is very important that your report be polite and professional, while providing an honest assessment. Treat others like you would like to be treated.
