My paper with Suryadeepto Nag on the long-run benefits of electrification has finally been accepted for publication in the Energy Journal! It has taken us three years since we put out a working paper. These are all the submissions we tried:
- AEJ-AE: Submitted 26Jul23. Desk-rejected 28Jul23.
- JDE: Submitted 31Jul23. Rejected 21Dec23.
- JAERE: Submitted 9Mar24. Desk-Rejected 14Mar24.
- World Development: Submitted 15Mar24. R&R 17May24. Resubmitted 29Jul24. Rejected 11Feb25.
- Energy Economics: Submitted 25Feb25. Rejected 17May25.
- Energy Journal: Submitted 24Sep25. R&R 29Dec26. Resubmitted 7Apr26.Accepted 8Jul26
OK, so our first three submissions were apparently too high ranked, though we got reviewed at JDE. But really, I think if Energy Journal accepted, either of WD or Energy Economics should have.
