Feminist Economics editorial policy requires that discussions of statistical results report standard errors rather than t-statistics. This policy is to make it easier for readers to construct confidence intervals. The policy accords with the view that statistical significance cannot be interpreted without information on sample size. The policy also requires that comments on statistical results address the economic importance of results. Statistical significance should therefore be addressed only in the context of sample size and the economic meaningfulness of a coefficient. For example, as is well known, a coefficient can be statistically significantly different from zero but so close to zero that the statistical significance may be of little relevance. Articles should therefore emphasize the economic importance of variables in the context of confidence intervals rather than statistical significance.
