Guidelines for Manuscript Style
Manuscripts should be typewritten and double-spaced with at least an inch (2.54 cm) of margins in all sides. The size of type font used should be large enough to be easily read (not smaller than 10 point). All pages should be numbered consecutively.
Tables, references, and legends for figures should be typed on separate pages. Titles and subtitles of tables and figures should be short, and they should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals.
The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information:
Name, title and institutional affiliation, and address of the author(s)
An abstract of not more than 150 words.
Classification code: at least one classification code according to the Classification System for Journal Articles as used by the Journal of Economic Literature.
Five or fewer key words.
Running heads, if title is of more than 10 words.
Acknowledgements and information on grants received can be given in a footnote on the first page of the manuscript.
Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with superscripts in Arabic numbers.
Important formulae (displayed) should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. on the right-hand side of the page. Where the derivation of the formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
Illustrations will be reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the author. Illustrations of insufficient quality, which have to be redrawn by the publisher, will be charged to the author. Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. The illustrations should not be inserted in the text, but should be placed at the end of the manuscript. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. Illustrations in the manuscript submitted electronically should be camera-ready.
In the text the reference for periodicals appears as, say, Lee (2002). The references for specific page, pages or chapters of a monograph may appear as, say, Kim (2003: 3), Kim (2003:10-15) or Kim (2003: Ch. 2). In the case of a publication brought out jointly by three or more authors, it should be quoted in the text as Lee, et al. (2003).
At the end of the manuscript, references must be listed alphabetically according to the first author's last name. Full names for all authors should be provided. Reference to the literature in the text of the manuscript should be made by the last name of its author, followed by the year of its publication in parenthesis. The writer should make sure that there is a strict "one-to-one correspondence" between the names (years) in the text and those on that list. If an author or a particular group of authors have brought out several publications in one year, the corresponding references should be distinguished as (2002a) or (2002b). If two or more items are by the same author(s), they should be listed according to the year of publication from the earliest. Journal titles should not be abbreviated.
