About the journal
|
 |
Laboratory methods are uniquely suited to the study of many phenomena that have been difficult to observe directly in naturally occurring economic contexts. For example, the ability to induce preferences and control information structures makes it possible to isolate the effects of alternate economic structures, policies, and market institutions. Moreover, some of the behavioral and equilibrium assumptions underlying many economic theories can be tested fruitfully in a controlled laboratory setting.
Experimental Economics is an international journal that serves the growing group of economists around the world who use laboratory methods. The journal invites high-quality papers in any area of experimental research in economics and related fields (i.e. accounting, finance, political science, and the psychology of decision making). State-of-the-art theoretical work and econometric work that is motivated by experimental data is also encouraged. The journal will also consider articles with a primary focus on methodology or replication of controversial findings.
The journal will provide a forum for interactive discussions of major issues, by inviting papers and comments on broad topics. In addition, there will be a section devoted to short papers. The Editors will promote the interests of scholars in the field by ensuring a fast turn-around time for short papers and a firm editorial review of misunderstandings that arise in the referee process for papers that use a relatively new methodology.
Experimental Economics is structured to promote experimental economics by bringing together innovative research that meets professional standards of experimental method, but without editorial bias towards specific orientations. All papers will be reviewed through the standard, anonymous-referee procedure and all accepted manuscripts will be subject to the approval of both editors. Authors are expected to submit separate data and instructions appendices which will be attached to the journal's web page upon publication.

| Manuscript Presentation |
| Experimental Economics accepts the following categories of papers:
General papers: There is no fixed limit on the length of full−length research articles but a concise presentation is encouraged. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
Dissertation Abstracts: Recent PhDs (within 6 months of defending the thesis) should submit short, one-page dissertation summaries/abstracts (no longer than 400 words) for publication in Experimental Economics. Submissions should be accompanied by a short letter of support from the advisor/supervisor, which will not be published. This letter should be included with the submission and should mention the Title and Author of the submission to which it is related. These abstracts will not be peer-reviewed, but the editors will review them to assess whether their content and quality are suitable for the journal. Of course, an important criterion is that the dissertation must use laboratory or field experiments.
The journal only accepts manuscripts written in English. British or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, leaving adequate margins (one inch minimum) on all sides for referees' remarks. Please double−space all materials, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left−hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotations marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.
Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
|
title
|
|
author(s)
|
|
affiliation(s)
|
|
full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
|
|
|
| Abstract and Key Words |
| Please provide an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
Please enclose from three to five keywords and authors are requested to provide their articles with the appropriate subject classification numbers, according to the system of the Journal of Economic Literature.
|
|
| Section Headings |
| First−, second−, third−, and fourth−order headings should be clearly distinguishable and numbered.
|
|
| Figures and Tables |
| Tables:
Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Each table should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each table in the text. Type a brief title above each table. Notes to tables should be designated by superscript letters (a, b, etc.) within each table and typed double-spaced on the same page as the table. Use descriptive labels rather than computer acronyms, and explain all abbreviations. When tables are typed on oversized paper, please submit both the original and a reduced copy. Use horizontal rules only.
Figures:
Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret we cannot provide drafting or art service. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text. Each figure must have a caption. Proper style for captions, e.g., "Figure 1. Nominal impulses and real effects." Identify all abbreviations appearing on the figure in alphabetical order at the end of each legend. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction. Suggested figure formats: TIFF, GIF, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. Files should be at least 300 dpi.
Colour Figures:
Colour figures may be printed at the authores expense. Please indicate at submission which figures should be printed in colour, the number of colour pages you prefer and to which address we can send the invoice. In addition, please specify if figures are to appear together on a colour page. For information regarding the prices of colour pages, please contact the Experimental Economicsf Editorial Office.
Each figure and table should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Each figure must have a caption, using proper style of captions, e.g. gFigure 1. Cumulative MAO frequencies across conditions.h The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the text (in italics, to stand out). Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table.
|
|
| Signs and Symbols |
|
|
Please indicate clearly the differences between 0 (zero) and O, o (the letters), between the number 1 and the letter l, between a and alpha, k and kappa, p and rho, u and mu, v and nu, n and eta, epsilon (ƒÃ) and element sign (¸), X and ~ (times), etc.
|
|
The use of the exponent 1/2 is preferred to ã.
|
|
The author should also see to it that the level of subscripts, subscripts to subscripts, exponents as well as exponents in exponents, cannot be misunderstood.
|
|
Fractions to be printed in the body of the text (not in display formulae) should make use of the solidus (e.g. a/b instead of a/b). The use of negative exponents (e.g. u-1 instead of 1/u will save both space and typesetting costs.
|
|
Attention should be paid to the consistent use of braces, brackets, and parentheses.
|
|
|
| Notes |
| Notes which do not belong to the head of the article should be numbered consecutively. They should be placed at the end of the article, before the references, not as footnotes. A note which refers to the head of the article should be indicated by an asterisk. Notes should be kept to an absolute minimum.
|
|
| References |
| References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper in alphabetical order with items referred to in the text by author and date of publications in parentheses, e.g., (Marr, 1982).
References should be complete, in the following style:
