被JPE主编拒稿了，有些不爽，文章观点很清晰，创新性比五大杂志多数文章都强不少，只是与现有的理论不太一致而已。不一样才是创新，对吧？
大家给点建议，我该怎么办？
改投哪家杂志比较合适？

下面是拒信原文

Thank you for submitting your manuscript"Deeper Research on Consumer Choice and the New Ideas Brought toEconomics" (MS 20190440) to the JPE. Unfortunately, I do not have goodnews: I am rejecting it for publication.

I have had a chance to read your paper,and there is much to like. Youpostulate several outcomes that a good theory of this choice should yield, andyou develop things from there. There are a number of interesting insights inyour paper, and I hope that you will be able to publish the contribution in adecent journal.

However, I feel that the paper is notquite the level of breakthrough that we seek to publish in the JPE.  I couldn't quite convince myself that currentpreference theory does not already encompass much of what you are seeking toaccomplish. Suppose a consumer consumes the quantities x, y, z of threedifferent goods. Suppose that goods x and y are perfect substitutes, while xand z or y and z are not. It seems to me that a preference specification like

u(x,y,z) = log( x + A y ) + log( z)

with A a parameter would go a long waytoward what you have in mind. More generally, one could use, e.g.,

u(x,y,z) = ( (x + A y)^a + z^a)^(1/a)

At the minimum, one certainly wishes tounderstand quickly what your paper accomplishes, which this approach would not.Perhaps all this can all be sorted out, but even a substantial revision may notcross the admittedly high bar of publication in the JPE.

Given these concerns and oursometimes-lengthy refereeing process, I have decided not to send yourmanuscript out for review. I am truly sorry that I could not reach a morepositive conclusion. Please take into account that well less than ten percentof all our submissions will eventually get published in the JPE. Your paperwill no doubt find an excellent home. I hope that this outcome gives you achance to submit to another journal quickly. I certainly wish you much successwith it and hope that this negative decision does not deter you from sendingyour best work to the JPE in the future.

Sincerely,

Editor
