FORMAT OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts should be typed in double spacing with wide margins (3 cm) on one side of standard A4 paper.
Title Page: This should contain the title of the paper, a short running title, the name and full postal address of each author and an indication of which author will be responsible for correspondence, reprints and proofs. Abbreviations in the title should be avoided.
Abstract: This should not exceed 100 words and should be presented on a separate sheet, summarizing the significant coverage and findings. Include the Journal of Economic Literature classification codes (up to 3) if known.
Key words: Abstracts should be accompanied by up to six key words or phrases that between them characterize the contents of the paper. These will be used for indexing and data retrieval purposes.
TEXT HEADINGS
All headings in the text should be set over to the left-hand margin, and the text should begin on the next line. Type first level (sectional) headings all in capitals. For second and third level headings, only the first letter of the first word should be a capital. Underline third level headings. For example:
FIRST LEVEL TEXT HEADINGS
Second level text headings
Third level text headings
FOOTNOTES
Footnotes should be typed double spaced after the conclusion, before the list of references. Only essential footnotes should be included. The footnote section should begin a new page. The author footnote/acknowledgement should be given an asterisk and listed first.
REFERENCES
References should be indicated in the text by the name and date system: either "Recent work (Smith 1984) ..." or "Recently Smith (1984) ...". If more than three authors are listed, cite the references as "Smith et al. (1984) ...". References should be collected and typed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order according to the first author. They should be complete in all details, including article, book and journal titles in full. Examples:

FIGURES
All figures should be numbered with consecutive arabic numerals, have descriptive captions and be mentioned in the text. Figures should be kept separate from the text but an approximate position for each should be indicated in the margin. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission for any reproduction from other sources.
Preparation: Figures must be of a high enough standard for direct reproduction. They should be prepared in black (India ink) on white card or tracing paper, with all the lettering and symbols included. Axes of graphs should be properly labelled and appropriate units given. Photographs intended for halftone reproduction must be high quality glossy originals of maximum contrast. Redrawing or retouching of unsuitable figures will be charged to authors.
Size: Figures should be planned so that they reduce to 10.5cm column width. The preferred width of submitted drawings is 16 - 21 cm, with capital lettering 4mm high, for reduction by one-half. Photographs for halftone reproduction should be approximately twice the desired size.
Captions: A list of figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet and included in the typescript.
TABLES
Tables should be clearly typed with double spacing. Number tables with consecutive arabic numerals and give each a clear descriptive heading. Avoid the use of vertical rules in tables. Table footnotes should be typed below the table, designated by superior lower-case letters. Tables should be on a separate unnumbered page. Place tables at the end of the paper after the References.
EQUATIONS AND FORMULAE (MATHEMATICAL)
Whenever possible, mathematical equations should be typewritten, with subscripts and superscripts clearly shown. It is helpful to identify Greek letters and unusual or ambiguous symbols in the margin when they first occur. To simplify typesetting, please use: (1) the "exp" form of complex exponential functions; (2) fractional exponents instead of root signs; and (3) the solid us (/) to simplify fractions - e.g. exp x 1/2. Equations should be centred and numbered on the right-hand side using consecutive arabic numerals in parentheses. References to equations in the text should use the form "Equation (5)" or simply "(5)".
Marking: The printer will set mathematical symbols in italics, except for obvious groups such as "sin" and "log". Any symbols that are to be left in roman (upright) type should be encircled in pencil in the typescript; bold symbols should be underlined with a wavy line.
COMMENTS AND PUBLISHED ARTICLES

If the Editor accepts the Comment for publication, the original author will be invited to write a short Reply which will be considered for publication of the same issue of the journal.
