Editorial style
The style for IMF Economic Review is essentially that of The Chicago Manual of Style. If you find that the instructions that follow are unsuitable or inadequate for your project, and the Manual of Style offers no solution, please contact Mr. Einhorn (contact details below) to discuss the situation before you proceed. Please make sure your paper starts with an italicized Abstract (in the third person; i.e., use “this paper” instead of “I” or “we”) followed by the paper's JEL classification numbers. The opening footnote must include the title and institution of each author and may include acknowledgements (see below). Do not include any disclaimers in the opening footnote as there is a global disclaimer on the Review's copyright page that covers all the papers included in each issue.
Opening footnote example:
*Atir Mian is an Associate Professor of Economics, Finance and Real Estate at the University of California, Berkeley and Amir Sufi is an Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The authors thank seminar participants at the University of Chicago (Booth), Duke University (Fuqua), Purdue University (Krannert), Harvard Business School, Princeton University, Wharton, NYU (Stern), and the Annual Research Conference at the IMF for comments. Timothy Dore provided superb research assistance.
Language
Please use American spelling, punctuation, and syntax. Commonly used latin terms (e.g., inter alia) need not be italicized.
If a relatively unfamiliar, non-English term (e.g., chaebol) will appear throughout your work, so that italicization will be cumbersome, you may choose to italicize the term and define it the first time it appears, and thereafter use roman type.
Names of institutions or organizations (e.g., Bundestag; Goskomstat) are not italicized. Diacritical marks should be retained in proper names and non-English words, even when they are not italicized (e.g., Poincaré, émigré, vis-à-vis, raison d'être).
The preferred transliteration system for Russian is the modified Library of Congress system. For the Romanization of Chinese we prefer pinyin.
Preparing your manuscript
Please prepare your manuscript in Scientific Word, LaTex, or Microsoft Word; separate Excel files are acceptable for tables and figures. Please send a PDF of your manuscript as well. The PDF should include everything for the print publication including ALL tables and figures in their approximate location, and appendices and other materials for the print publication.
Please adhere to the following basic procedures for preparing computerized manuscripts.
Please utilize the following convention for naming your files: your surname to be followed by the element in the file (e.g., Smith-text.doc, Smith-Figure 1.doc, etc.).
If your manuscript is in Microsoft WORD, create a separate file for each table and figure. (If provided in Excel, each table should be in its own separate workbook file.)
Create and retain a backup of your files.
Use only one space after punctuation.
Do not leave blank lines between paragraphs unless there is a deliberate break in the text.
Use a line feed ("carriage-return" key) only to end a paragraph, not at the end of each screen line.
Do not use hyphenation/justification, windows, or other automatic functions in the files you send. They will not transmit properly to our computers.
Do not insert spaces between initials.
Do not use a lowercase "el" (l) for a numeral one (1).
The titles of parts, chapters, tables, etc., and the subheads within a chapter should be brief but informative, parallel in construction, and in a consistent style. As a group, the weighted subheads should give a clear outline of the structure of the work and its parts. Superscript note numbers or asterisks should never appear in a chapter title or subtitle, table title, or subhead.
Quotations
When using quotations from published sources, please follow exactly the spelling and other conventions of the original. Please place interpolations (comments you insert that are not part of the quotation) in square brackets, not parentheses. Indicate internal omissions with ellipsis points; do not use ellipsis points at the beginning or end of a quote.
Quotations need to be identified by source. Direct quotations are enclosed within double quotation marks; quotations within quotations are enclosed in single quotation marks. Commas and periods go inside the close quote (," ."), colons and semicolons outside (": ";). A question mark or exclamation point belongs inside the close quote if it is part of the quotation. A superscript note number follows the close quote, but proper placement of punctuation marks will vary: ("xx xxxxx"),2 "xx xxxxx";3 "xx xxxxx,"4 and "xx xxxxx."5
Citations and references
Remember that a credit (or acknowledgment) note is unnumbered. If it applies to the entire chapter, it should be placed at the foot of the opening page or before the numbered endnotes. Please do not incorporate notes belonging to tables or figures into the sequence of numbered notes, as the exact placement of these elements will not be fixed until the text is paged. The superscript note number is best placed at the end of a clause, sentence, or quotation, outside the punctuation. Superscripts should never appear in chapter titles or subheads. Use a short-form citation for nonsequential references to a previously cited source (not op cit.). Please note that IMF style uses “and others” (instead of et al.) for any callouts with more than three authors; e.g., Johnson and others (2003) (if there are four authors or more); but Johnson, Harrison, and Smith (2003) (if there are three authors).
Please ensure that all Reference entries have a callout in the text; otherwise the reference entry should be eliminated. Similarly, ensure that all callouts have an associated entry in the Reference list. Below are examples of our Reference styles for journal articles, books, chapters in books, working papers, unpublished material:

Data in tables
In statistical matter throughout:
dots (...) indicate that the data are not available;
a dash (–) indicates that the figure is zero or less than half the final digit shown, or that the item does not exist;
a single dot (.) indicates decimals;
a comma (,) separates thousands and millions;
"billion" means a thousand million; and "trillion" means a thousand billion;
a short dash (-) is used between years or months (for example, 1998-99 or January-June) to indicate a total of the years or months inclusive of the beginning and ending years or months;
a slash (/) is used between years (for example, 1998/99) to indicate a fiscal year or a crop year; and
components of tables may not add to totals shown because of rounding.
The term "country", as used in this publication, may not refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice; the term may also cover some territorial entities that are not states but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis.

Length
Please limit the total length of your final manuscript to 50 double spaced pages. This overall length limitation should include:
Text, footnotes, references, equations, boxes, and appendixes of no more than 300 words per page;
No more than 8 full pages of figures (please see figure instructions for more detail); and
No more than 8 full pages of tables.
Line spacing
Line spacing. Please double space the entire manuscript, and leave extra space above and below headings, mathematical equations, and between individual references (in your References section).
Margins
Leave a 1½" margin on all sides of each page–top, sides, and bottom. This space is needed by the editor and typesetter for their purposes.
Manuscript formatting
All formatting of your manuscript will be done by a professional typesetter, according to established IMF guidelines. Indeed, when preparing your manuscript for submission, please do not try to format the layout or appearance of the work yourself.
Figures, tables, and boxes
Please do not embed these elements in the flow of the text in your manuscript. They should be handled separately, and provided on separate sheets of paper and in separate files. Only a "call-out" should appear in the text to indicate placement, such as <<Table 2 here>> below the paragraph in which the item is called out. Figures and Tables must be self-contained, requiring no further information from other sources to make them understandable.

Preparing Artwork: Camera-Ready Format
General Information
If your manuscript in Microsoft WORD, figures may be provided as camera-ready pictures, but each one should be in a separate file. Tables must be in a typesettable format such as Word or Excel. Please limit the number of figure panels in your final manuscript to no more than 8 full pages (as defined below).
Dimensions
If your manuscript is in Microsoft WORD, it is important that each figure be camera-ready original artwork of professional quality, and that the following dimensional limits are observed
Full-page figures should measure 5" x 8", including axes labels.
Half-page figures should measure 5" x 4", including axes labels.
Third-page figures should measure 5" x 2¼", including axes labels.
Multi-panel charts
If your manuscript is in Microsoft WORD, you are free to submit figures with more than one panel (or part), and these panels can be as large as one full page each. It is also possible to have figures with multiple panels on each page that are prepared to fit within one of the size dimensions listed above.
It is recommended, however, that except for the simplest of figures, you should try to limit the number of panels per page to 8. For example, a figure with 8 panels can be prepared to fit within one full page (5" x 8") of space. A figure of, say, 12 panels should be prepared as one full page with 8 panels and one half page comprising 4 panels.
Image orientation ("landscape" vs. "portrait")
You should feel free to orient your figures as you wish, but please keep in mind the dimension restrictions above. For example, portrait-oriented figures (full, ½, or ?) should be 5" wide. The same size figures in landscape orientation would need to be 8" wide. The deciding factor as to which orientation to adopt should be the legibility of the final image (e.g., very complex figures involving many data points with long time series will look better when presented in landscape rather than in portrait format).
Labels, notes, sources, and captions
Your figures (using the dimensions shown above) should include the image itself and any labels you wish to apply to the various elements and the axes. To ensure maximum legibility, please render labels in 10-point Arial (or Helvetica) font.
Notes, source information, figure titles (e.g., "Figure 2.3. Official Bank of England CPI Rates, 1947-97"), and captions (if any) should be provided separately as Word documents.

Guide to preparing camera ready copy artwork
Your final camera ready copy (CRC) artwork will be treated as pieces of mechanical art that will be subjected to photographic reproduction. They should be prepared so that they can be output at the highest resolution possible (1200 dpi (or finer) is recommended). Please do not use grey-scale screens or shading in any part of your figures.

Guide to preparing camera ready copy artwork
IMF Economic Review publishes papers only if the data used in the analysis are clearly and precisely documented and are readily available to any researcher for purposes of replication. Authors of accepted papers that contain empirical work, simulations, or experimental work are expected to provide to the IMF Economic Review, prior to publication, the data, programs, and other details of the computations sufficient to permit replication. These will be posted on the IMF Economic Review website. The Editor should be notified at the time of submission if the data used in a paper are proprietary or if, for some other reason, the requirements above cannot be met.
As soon as possible after acceptance, authors are expected to send their data, programs, and sufficient details to permit replication, in electronic form, to the IMF Economic Review office. Questions regarding any aspect of this policy should be forwarded to the Editor.
