The Journal of Econometrics is to serve as the publication medium for important new research in both theoretical and applied econometrics. The scope of the journal includes articles dealing with estimation and other methodological aspects of applying statistical inference to economic data, as well as articles dealing with the application of econometric techniques in essential areas of economics.

Each edition of the Annals contains a collection of articles on an important topic in econometrics, selected by the editor of the respective edition.
