Manuscripts should be submitted in a single file (including text, notes, references, figures, and tables) in MS-Word (doc) or Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format. Double submissions, that is, submitting the same or very similar paper to this journal while simultaneously submitting it elsewhere, will not be tolerated. Authors submitting papers by normal mail or courier will automatically be requested to provide an electronic version of their paper, and the refereeing process will not commence until after the electronic version is received by the Editorial Office. Once a paper has been accepted for publication, authors who submitted their papers in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format will be required to provide the final publication version of their paper in either MS-Word (doc) or LaTeX format. The preferred format for the final publication version of graphs and charts is eps format, but Excel format is also acceptable. Excel format is acceptable for the final publication version of tables. Authors providing the final publication version of their paper in LaTeX will also be required to provide a hard copy version of their paper.

The length of an article (including tables, figures and appendices) should not exceed 35 pages. Manuscripts must be typed double-spaced (except tables and figures) according to the following format:

1. The first page should contain the article's title, author's name and affiliation, complete mailing address, and a suggested running head (abbreviated form of the title).

2. The second page should contain a short abstract of approximately 100 words, a list of keywords and Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) codes.

3. Footnotes, references, tables, and figures should be placed on separate pages at the end of the manuscript and properly numbered. Figures should be provided in camera-ready format.
