General Guidelines for Authors

Article length (including references, endnotes, tables and appendices) should be between 8,000 and 10,000 words. Comments, research notes and other communications should not exceed 3,500 words unless invited to do so by an Editor. Book reviews should not exceed 1,000 words. Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page (with author contact details), (ii) acknowledgments, (iii) abstract, keywords and JEL categories, (iv) text (including footnotes), (v) references, (vi) appendices, (vii) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes), and (viii) figures and figure legends.

Title page

The title page must contain all identifying information. This includes (i) the title of the paper (the title should be short, informative and contain the major key words. Please limit title length to 75 characters. Do not use abbreviations in the title), (ii) a short running title (less than 40 characters), (iii) the full names of the authors, (iv) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out, (v) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent (the present address of any author, if different from where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote), and (vi) acknowledgments.

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements should appear on the title page. The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors’ industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged.

Abstract, key words and JEL classification codes

Page two of the manuscript must repeat the title of the paper without any author identification. Next, all articles must have a brief abstract of 100 words or fewer. The abstract is to be placed immediately below the title (repeated from the title page), typed in double spacing, and indented six character spaces in from the left margin. It should succinctly convey to the reader the topic, method or data, the significance of the findings, and so on. It must not simply be a shortened version of the introduction or conclusion, nor must it contain mathematical symbols, abbreviations, references or footnotes. The abstract should be followed by up to five JEL classification codes (see http://www. aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.php), and at least two keywords including one geographic identifier.
