A note from Francisco H. G. Ferreira, outgoing editor-in-chief

摘要

It has now been just over two years since I took over as editor in chief of the Journal of Economic Inequality. During this period, we have continued to build on the solid foundations laid by Jacques Silber and Jean-Yves Duclos, our previous editors. The Journal's impact factor has continued to grow, and is now higher than those of a number of older, more established journals in the field. Submissions have risen to over 180 in 2013-about one every other day. As a result, despite a growing page budget, the journal's acceptance rate has had to continue to decline.
