About the journal
As economics becomes increasingly specialized, communication amongst economists becomes even more important. The Journal of Economic Surveys seeks to improve the communication of new ideas. It provides a means by which economists can keep abreast of recent developments beyond their immediate specialization. Areas covered include: economics, econometrics, economic history and business economics.
Instructions to Authors
Notes for Contributors
Survey articles should:
- Be accessible to the non-specialist reader (i.e. a 'representative' professional economist)
- Provide a creative synthesis of existing research as distinct from a simple catalogue of recent articles.
- Place the topic in perspective in the introductory section, to help motivate the non-specialist reader.
It can be helpful to:
- Set up an encompassing model and treat contributions to the literature as special cases
- Use summary tables to highlight the key differentiating characteristics of different contributions.
Excessive repetition of material available in text book form should be avoided. The aim is to survey recent research that has yet to be assimilated in standard texts.
Manuscript preparation:
1. Surveys should normally be 20-30 journal pages in length (10,000-15,000 words) depending on the breadth of the topic. The normal language of publication will be English.
2. Manuscripts should be typed double-space on A4 paper with ample left- and right-hand margins. All pages should be numbered consecutively. A cover page should contain only the title, author's name and affiliation, and the address to which proofs should be sent. This information should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript as the normal practice will be to referee 'double-blind'.
3. An abstract should be included. This should not exceed 200 words.
4. To facilitate the production of an annual subject index please provide a list of key words (not more than six) under which the paper can be indexed.
5. Specialist terms should be explained so as to be understandable by non-specialist professional economists.
6. Footnotes should be avoided. In particular, references to the literature should be included in the text (see point 8 below). Essential notes should be numbered consecutively in the text and grouped together at the end of the article, under the heading 'Notes'.
7. Acknowledgements should be separated from the notes and should not be numbered. They should appear, under the heading 'Acknowledgements' at the end of the main body of the text, preceding the Notes.
8. References to the literature in the main text or notes should use the form: Stiglitz (1997); Stiglitz (1997a). If a reference occurs within parentheses, the author and date should be separated by a comma, for example: (see Stiglitz, 1997; Stiglitz, 1992). Quotations should cite the source page of the quote, for example: (Stiglitz, 1997, p.376).
9. References should be set out in alphabetical order of the author's name in a list at the end of the article (following any notes). They should be given in a standard form, as in the following examples:
Dasgupta, Partha and Stiglitz, Joseph (1980a) Industrial structure and the nature of innovative activity. Economic Journal 90, 266-93
-------- (1980b) Uncertainty, industrial structure and the speed of R & D. Bell Journal of Economics 2, 1-28
Turnovsky, Stephen J. (1995) Methods of Macroeconomic Dynamics. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press
Stein, Jerome L (1976) Inside the monetarist black box. In Jerome L. Stein (ed.) Monetarism (pp. 183-232). Amsterdam: North-Holland
10. Sections should be numbered consecutively, using Arabic numerals (i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc.). Subsections may be double-numbered (e.g. 1.1, 1.2, etc.) or treble-numbered (e.g. 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc.) where appropriate.
11. Short quotations (less than c. 60 words) should run on in the text. Longer quotations should be indented, with a line space above and below.
12. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively (e.g. table 1, Table 2; Figure 1; Figure 2). References in the text should be by number (e.g. 'See Table 1') rather than ' in the following table'. Figures should be on a separate page from the main text and where possible camera-ready copy should be provided by the author.
Special notes for Mathematical Papers
It is important to distinguish symbols that may be confused, and in particular to distinguish carefully between (a) capitals and small letters, (b) ordinary and bold-faced letters, (c) certain Greek letters and similar Roman letters, (d) subscripts, superscripts and 'ordinary' symbols, (e) numbers 0 and 1 and letters O and I. Bold-faced symbols should be underlined with a wiggly line in pencil. Mathematical variables should be underlined to prevent ambiguity and indicate that they are to be set in italics. However, certain standard abbreviations are set in roman font, not italic font, e.g. log, lim, exp (but not e), max, min, sup, var, cov, sin, cos.
Small font setting is technically difficult, expensive and sometimes impossible. To reduce the use of small fonts:
- Avoid elaborate notations involving mutliple suffices.
- Use the the expression 'exp' for the exponential function when the argument is longer than a single compact group of symbols, e.g. exp(a+ bt +ct^2) but e^t.

Manuscript submission
1. Four hard copies of the manuscript should be submitted, together with a copy on floppy disk in Microsoft Word 6.0 format if possible.
2. Submission of a paper is held to imply that its content represents original and unpublished work, that it has not been submitted for publication elsewhere, and that full copyright clearance has been obtained for any material quoted in it. If the author has submitted related work elsewhere or does so while the paper is under consideration, then the Editors should be informed.
3. A typescript that is well prepared in accordance with the above guidelines will greatly assist the ease and speed of publication.
4. The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
5. There is neither a submission charge, nor page fee, nor is payment made to authors, but the principle author will receive a PDF offprint of their article free of charge. Additional copies of the journal may be ordered when returning corrected proofs.

Papers submitted, providing they appear to be broadly in line with the aims of the Journal, undergo a standard refereeing process. The Editors' decision is based on the referees' reports, together with the consideration of the aims of the Journal and the balance of the Journal's contents. We endeavour to reach a decision as quickly as possible.
Exclusive Licence Form.
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
