About the journal
|
 |
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research. Comments or pedagogical notes are not suitable for transmission in this form.:
•Concise: Contributions must be concise and preferably not exceed a maximum of 4 printed pages, allowing readers to determine their potential interest in a letter very quickly, and to digest a large amount of material in a usable form
•Rapid: Monthly publication ensures a brief manuscript turnover time (maximum of 4 months from submission to final publication)
•Efficient: A quick way to stay up-to-date with developments in all areas of economics.
The only letter journal in its field, Economics Letters is a valuable addition to the specialist literature in offering quick dissemination and easy accessibility of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
Each article in Economics Letters is classified according to the JEL Classification System, and an author and subject index is published in the last issue of each volume to facilitate reference. A complete index of volumes 1 - 25 covering 10 years of economic literature is available from the publisher upon request. It provides author, title and subject indexes and thus constitutes a handy reference work for researchers and information officers alike. |
Instructions to Authors
1) Papers must be in English and should not exceed 2000 words, including diagrams, figures, tables, etc. Papers exceeding this length will normally be returned to the Author without being reviewed.
2) Papers are to contain new results, models and methods in any field of economic research. Comments or educational notes are not suitable for publication in Economics Letters.
(3) Papers for publication should preferably be submitted using the online submission mechanism: http://ees.elsevier.com/ecolet . Please follow the guidelines. Manuscripts submitted using the online system will be handled substantially quicker than those submitted by mail. If papers are sent by mail, please send them in duplicate to the Editor at the address below.

Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers submitted will be refereed by the Board of Editors. The Editor does not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted. Upon acceptance of an article, author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
(4) Submission of accepted papers as electronic manuscripts, i.e., on disk with accompanying manuscript, is encouraged. Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. The preferred storage medium is a 5.25 or 3.5 inch disk in MS-DOS format, although other systems are welcome, e.g. Macintosh (in this case, save your file in the usual manner; do not use the option "save in MS-DOS format"). Do not submit your original paper as electronic manuscript but hold on to the disk until asked for this by the Editor (in case your paper is accepted without revisions). Do not submit the accepted version of your paper as electronic manuscript. Make absolutely sure that the file on the disk and the printout are identical. Please use a new and correctly formatted disk and label this with your name; also specify the software and hardware used as well as the title of the file to be processed. Do not convert the file to plain ASCII. Ensure that the letter "l" and digit "1", and also the letter "O" and digit"0" are used properly, and format your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your word processor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha, alpha, @, etc., for the Greek letter ). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text; a list of codes should accompany the electronic manuscript. Do not allow your word processor to introduce word breaks and do not use a justified layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions below on style, arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal.
(5) Manuscripts should be double spaced, with wide margins, and printed on one side of the paper only. All pages should be numbered consecutively. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for the figures should be printed on separate pages. The legends and titles on tables and figures must be sufficiently descriptive such that they are understandable without reference to the text. The dimensions of figure axes and the body of tables must be clearly labelled in English.
(6) The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information: (i) the title; (ii) the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); (iii) an abstract of not more than 40 words. A footnote on the same sheet should give the name, address, and telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author [as well as an e-mail address].
(7) The first page of the manuscript should also contain at least one classification code according to the Classification System for Journal Articles as used by the Journal of Economic Literature; in addition, up to five key words should be supplied.
(8) Acknowledgements and information on grants received should be given in a footnote on the first page of the manuscript or before the references.
(9) Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with superscript Arabic numerals. They should be double spaced and not include displayed formulae or tables.
(10) Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
(11) References to publications should be as follows: 'Smith (1992) reported that...' or 'This problem has been studied previously (e.g., Smith et al., 1969)'. The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those on the list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices, but before tables and legends for figures). It should be double spaced and listed in alphabetical order by author's name. References should appear as follows:
For monographs
Hawawini, G. and I. Swary, 1990, Mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. banking industry: Evidence from the capital markets (North-Holland, Amsterdam).
For contributions to collective works
Brunner, K. and A.H. Meltzer, 1990, Money supply, in: B.M. Friedman and F.H. Hahn, eds., Handbook of monetary economics, Vol. 1 (North-Holland, Amsterdam) 357-396.
For periodicals
Griffiths, W. and G. Judge, 1992, Testing and estimating location vectors when the error covariance matrix is unknown, Journal of Econometrics 54, 121-138.
Note that journal titles should not be abbreviated.
(12) Illustrations will be reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the author; they will not be redrawn by the publisher. Please provide all illustrations in duplicate (one high-contrast original and one photocopy). Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. The illustrations should not be inserted in the text, and should be marked on the back with figure number, title of paper, and author's name. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals.
Illustrations can be printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and the author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. Further information concerning colour illustrations and the costs to the author can be obtained from the publisher.
(13) Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals and printed on separate sheets. All unessential tables should be eliminated from the manuscript. Any manuscript which does not conform to the above instructions may be returned for the necessary revision before publication. Contributors are reminded that once their contribution has been accepted, all further correspondence should be sent directly to:
