STYLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Spelling
The Journal uses US spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.
PARTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT
The length of an article (including references, footnotes, tables, figures, and appendices) should not exceed 10 000 words.
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and key words, (iii) text, (iv) acknowledgments, (v) references, (vi) footnotes, (vii) appendices, (viii) figure legends, (ix) tables (each table complete with title and footnotes), and (x) figures.
Title page
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names and affiliations of the authors, and (iii) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent. The title should be short, informative, and contain the major key words. A short running title (less than 40 characters) should also be provided.

All articles must have a brief abstract that states in 150 words or fewer the major points made and the principal conclusions reached. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references. JEL classification numbers and keywords should be provided.

The Harvard (author, date) system of referencing is used (examples are given below). In the text give the author's name followed by the year in parentheses: Smith (2000). If there are two authors use "and": Smith and Jones (2001). When reference is made to a work by four or more authors, the first name followed by "et al." should be used: MacDonald et al. (2002).

Footnotes
Footnotes should be placed as a list at the foot of each page. They should be numbered in the list and referred to in the text with consecutive, superscript Arabic numerals. Keep footnotes brief: they should contain only short comments tangential to the main argument of the paper and should not include references.
Appendices
These should be placed at the end of the paper, numbered in Roman numerals and referred to in the text. If written by a person other than the author of the main text, the writer's name should be included below the title.
Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶ should be used and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in footnotes.
Figures
Keep figures to a minimum.
All illustrations are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Figures should be sized to fit within the full text width (126 mm).
Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package.
If supplied electronically, graphics must be supplied as high resolution (at least 300 d.p.i.) files, saved as .eps or .tif. A high-resolution print-out must also be provided. Digital images supplied only as low-resolution print-outs and/or files cannot be used.
Figure legends
Figure legends should be included on a new page after the references. Legends should be concise but comprehensive - the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
Equations
Equations should be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals; these should be ranged right in parentheses. All variables should appear in italics. Use the simplest possible form for all mathematical symbols.
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION
The following instructions should be adhered to:
?nbsp;The email must contain the relevant file(s) only. The entire article (including tables) should be supplied as a single Microsoft Word file; only electronic figures should be supplied as separate files.
?nbsp;Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters.
?nbsp;Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e., do not use carriage returns within cells).
Where possible, draft heavily mathematical papers in software such as Scientific Word, TeX or LaTex and ensure that the PDF page proofs are checked thoroughly for accuracy.
PROOFS
It is essential that corresponding authors supply an email address to which correspondence can be emailed. Word files of edited articles will be sent for checking via email, and should be returned to the Publisher. It is essential that these files are checked carefully, as the cost of changes made at a later stage may be charged to the author. Full instructions on how to correct and return the file will be attached to the email.
Notification of the URL from where to download a Portable Document Format (PDF) typeset page proof, associated forms and further instructions will be sent by email to the corresponding author. The purpose of the PDF proof is a final check of the layout, and of tables and figures. Alterations other than the essential correction of errors are unacceptable at PDF proof stage. The proof should be checked, and approval to publish the article should be emailed to the Publisher by the date indicated; otherwise, it may be signed off on by the Editor or held over to the next issue.
OFFPRINTS
A free PDF offprint will be supplied to the corresponding author. A minimum of 50 additional offprints will be provided upon request, at the author's expense.
