Manuscripts should be accompanied by a summary of the article of not more than 100 words which can be sent to the Journal of Economic Literature if the paper is accepted for publication and JEL classification. Acknowledgements and references to grants, etc., should appear as a footnote to the author's name and should not be included in the main list of footnotes. The author's name and institution should appear below the title. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and be listed consecutively throughout the text with superscript arabic numerals. Diagrams should be in a form suitable for reproduction, with letters and symbols clearly printed.
Mathematical notation is very expensive to reproduce.
In order to avoid unnecessary printing costs, the following guidelines should be noted. Avoid the use of unusual symbols where common ones are satisfactory. Care should be taken to distinguish symbols which cannot betyped. Special care is required with letters and symbols, and for example the use of 0 and 1 where these can be read as either letters or numbers. Avoid symbols above letters unless essential, and use acceptable alternatives where possible.
