Econometrica is a prestigious academic journal of economics, specifically its subfield of econometrics, published by The Econometric Society via Blackwell Publishing.
It describes itself as
- Econometrica publishes original articles in all branches of economics - theoretical and empirical, abstract and applied, providing wide-ranging coverage across the subject area. It promotes studies that aim at the unification of the theoretical-quantitative and the empirical-quantitative approach to economic problems and that are penetrated by constructive and rigorous thinking. It explores a unique range of topics each year - from the frontier of theoretical developments in many new and important areas, to research on current and applied economic problems, to methodologically innovative, theoretical and applied studies in econometrics.

Currently its most widely cited article is a paper by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky which introduced prospect theory. [2] (http://ideas.repec.org/a/ecm/emetrp/v47y1979i2p263-91.html)
