About Journal
As economics becomes increasingly specialized, communication amongst economists becomes even more important. The Journal of Economic Surveys seeks to improve the communication of new ideas. It provides a means by which economists can keep abreast of recent developments beyond their immediate specialization. Areas covered include: economics, econometrics, economic history and business economics.

General Guidelines for Authors
1. Surveys should normally be 20-30 journal pages in length (10,000-15,000 words) depending on the breadth of the topic. The normal language of publication will be English.

2. Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/joes. As the journal engages in a double-blind review process, please ensure there are no names or references in your manuscript that reveal your identity as the author.

3. An abstract should be included. This should not exceed 200 words.

4. To facilitate the production of an annual subject index please provide a list of key words (not more than six) under which the paper can be indexed.

5. Specialist terms should be explained so as to be understandable by non-specialist professional economists.

6. Footnotes should be avoided. In particular, references to the literature should be included in the text (see point 8 below). Essential notes should be numbered consecutively in the text and grouped together at the end of the article, under the heading 'Notes'.

7. Acknowledgements should be separated from the notes and should not be numbered. They should appear, under the heading 'Acknowledgements' at the end of the main body of the text, preceding the Notes.
