About the journal
The Review publishes research papers on all aspects of industrial organization, broadly defined. A main focus is on competition and monopoly, in their many forms and processes and their effects on efficiency, innovation, and social conditions. Topics may range from the internal organization of enterprises to wide international comparisons.
The Review is also increasing its interest in papers on public policies such as antitrust, regulation, deregulation, public enterprise, and privatization. Papers may deal with any economic sectors and any developed economies.
The Review continues its primary interest in ideas that can be verified by econometric evidence, case studies, or other real conditions. But the Review also seeks papers that advance significant theories of industrial organization and policy. Papers using abstract techniques and econometric tests should present the methods and analysis in plain enough English so that non-specialist readers can evaluate the content.
The Review welcomes submissions from any source, and the Editors will make every effort to have papers reviewed quickly and to give prompt decisions. The Editors will also seek to arrange symposia on specific topics, and they are open to proposals for grouped papers. They also welcome shorter notes and commentaries on topics of interest to the profession.

There is no submission fee, and authors are provided with 25 offprints of their papers. Papers should be submitted in any double−spaced format. Accepted papers must be supplied in their final version in conformity with the Review's exact format.
Final Manuscript Preparation
Springer requests the submission of accepted manuscripts and figures in electronic form in addition to a hard−copy printout. Please label your manuscript properly, giving exact details on the name(s) of the file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic manuscript in the word processor format that you use; conversions to other formats and versions tend to be imperfect. In general, use as few formatting codes as possible. For safety's sake, you should always retain a backup copy of your file(s).
Springer prefers articles submitted in word processing packages such as MS Word, WordPerfect, etc. running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows and Apple Macintosh, or in the file format LaTeX. Articles submitted in other software programs can also be accepted.
For submission in LaTeX, Springer have developed a Kluwer LaTeX class file, which can be downloaded from: (please use the link below the chapter)
Use of this class file is highly recommended. Do not use versions downloaded from other sites.
Technical support is available at: texhelp@springer−sbm.com.
If you are not familiar with TeX/LaTeX, the class file will be of no use to you. In that case, submit your article in a common word processor format.

Manuscript Presentation, General
The journals language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving one inch margins on all sides. Please double−space all material, 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 quotation 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:
running head (shortened title)
title
author (s)
affiliation(s)
full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e−mail address (for sending page proofs and offprints
Abstract
On the second page, please provide a short abstract of up to 100 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Key Words
Please provide 2 to 6 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order.
Symbols and Units
Any numerical results in dimensional form should be presented in SI units. Please indicate clearly the difference between 0 (zero) and O, o (the letters), between the numeral 1 and letter l, between a and alpha, k and kappa, p and rho, u and mu, n and eta, X and X (times) etc.
The use of the exponent 1/2 is preferred. 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. The use of negative exponents will save both space and typesetting costs. Attention should be paid to the consistent use of braces, brackets, and parentheses.
Figures and Tables
Submission of electronic figures
In addition to hard−copy printouts of figures, authors are requested to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead.
Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., figure1.eps. For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in−fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font−related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable.
The following resolutions are optimal:
black−and−white line figures − 600 − 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines − 600 dpi; photographs − 300 dpi; screen dumps − leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10−15%.
AVOIDING PROBLEMS WITH EPS GRAPHICS
Please always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program. If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).
If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document.
HOW TO SET UP FOR EPS AND POSTCRIPT DUMPS UNDER WINDOWS
Create a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer Apple Laserwriter Plus and specify FILE: as printer port. Each time you send something to the printer you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.
The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single−page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select Optimise for portability instead. The option Download header with each job should be checked.
Submission of hard−copy figures
If no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high−quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re−typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black−and−white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black−and−white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black−and−white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.
Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section.
Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.
In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table.
Section Headings
Section headings should be numbered (e.g., I., 1., A.).
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections.
Notes
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page.
Cross−Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an authors name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first authors name should be mentioned, followed by et al.. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like a and b after the date to distinguish the works.
Examples:
Winograd (1986, p. 204)
(Winograd, 1986a, b)
(Winograd, 1986; Flores et al., 1988)
(Bullen and Bennett, 1990)
Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the References.

Springer Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription−based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springers online platform SpringerLink. To publish via Springer Open Choice, upon acceptance please visit the link below to complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will publish as regular subscription−model articles. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
