Online submission
All submissions are handled online at http://eer.editorialmanager.com Once you have logged
on as author using your EER username and password you will be guided through the creation and uploading of your files. The system automatically
converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that
even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further
processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place
by e-mail and via the Author's homepage only. Therefore users need to keep their contact coordinates on the registration page up-to-date
with the "UPDATE MY INFORMATION" option.
The European Economic Review levies a submission fee of EURO 125 for unsolicited manuscripts.
PhD-students submitting a manuscript pay a reduced submission fee of EURO 65. After submission authors will receive a confirmation letter,
and will be directed to the PayPal payment page. Submission fees are not refundable and a paper may be rejected before full review, should
the editors decide that it is unsuitable for publication in the journal.
Legal and Copyright
Submission of an article
implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture
or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all Authors and
tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published
elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the Author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit
the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has forms for use by Authors in these cases: contact Elsevier's Rights Department, Oxford, UK:
phone (+44) 1865 843830, fax (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail permissions@elsevier.com. Requests may also be completed on-line
via http://www.elsevier.com/locate/permissions.
Word processors
Save the file in the native format of the
word processor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes
will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify text or to
hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. Do not embed "graphically designed" equations or tables,
but prepare these using the word processor's facility. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each
individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. Do not import the figures into
the text file but, instead, indicate their approximate locations directly in the electronic text. To avoid unnecessary errors you are
strongly advised to use the "spellchecker" function of your word processor.
Article Language. Articles must be
written in good English
Language Polishing. Authors who require information about language editing and copyediting services
pre- and post-submission please visit http://www.elsevier.com/locate/languagepolishing or contact authorsupport@elsevier.com
for more information. Please note Elsevier neither endorses nor takes responsibility for any products, goods or services offered by outside
vendors through our services or in any advertising. For more information please refer to our Terms & Conditions http://www.elsevier.com/locate/termsconditions
Title. Concise and informative. Avoid abbreviations and formulae.
Author names and affiliations. Where the
family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the Authors' affiliation addresses (where the
actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the Author's
name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if
available, the e-mail address of each Author.
Corresponding Author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence
at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code)
are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Abstract. A concise abstract should briefly
state the purpose of the research and the main results. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able
to stand alone.
References
All citations in the text should refer to:
- Single Author: the Author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and
the year of publication;
- Two Authors: both Authors' names and the year of publication;
- Three or more Authors: first Author's
name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.
Examples: "(as demonstrated in Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999;
Allan and Jones, 1995)". "Lee et al. (2000) have recently shown"
In the references list references should be arranged
first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same Author(s) in the same
year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication. Examples:

Griffiths, W., Judge, G., 1992. Testing and estimating location vectors when the error
covariance matrix is unknown. Journal of Econometrics 54, 121-138.
