I am excited to see whether this will work. Irrespective of that, I think journals should experiment more with the publication process.

Yes! Have been saying this for years. There are interesting journal practices in fields outside of economics that could be considered and tried

Beginning with the March 2025 issue and continuing at least to the end of 2025 any member of the Society will be able to submit a short (one page or less) comment on a paper in Econometrica to appear on a discussion board. 2/5

These comments will only be reviewed for appropriateness (tone and relevance), not correctness or other attributes, and will quickly be posted to the discussion board if deemed appropriate. 3/5

By and large we will follow the procedures used by the Journal of the American Medical Association in the comments they post. 4/5

At the end of 2025, the editorial board will review this experiment to determine whether to continue or modify it. If they choose not to continue it, we may remove the discussion board and the posted comments at that time. 5/5
