(3) A credit card payment covering the submission fee of USD 70.00 or
a USD cheque drawn on a U.S. bank and made payable to the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, should accompany all manuscripts,
and should be sent to the JEDC Office. Further information can be found at the JEDC editorial office website: http://www.jedc.com.
Submission fees will be used for referee rewards.
(4) Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished
work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. The Editor will circulate the paper in efforts to get good referees. A submission
implies an author's consent on this. The Editor does not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted. Upon acceptance
of an article, author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible
dissemination of information
(5) Papers that are accepted for publication should be sent electronically to jedc@wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de.
The JEDC Office will then send your electronic manuscript to the publisher. This new procedure for accepted papers will result in a reliable
and fast delivery of the proofs. The electronic manuscript and all electronic files of figures and tables should preferably be sent as
a zip file,. For the names of your files, please refrain from using spaces, accented characters, symbols like @, ✓ n, &percent;
, &, * or very long file names. When sending a zip file, please note that any directory structures will be lost after the JEDC
Office uploads the files to the publisher. Please inform the JEDC Office when a directory structure is vital (e.g LaTeX submissions). LaTeX documents. If the LaTeX file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should preferably
be written using Elsevier's document class "elsart1p.cls". The Elsevier LaTeX package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation)
can be obtained from the Quickguide: http://www.elsevier.com/latex. It consists of the files: elsart.cls, guidelines for
users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX".
Please adhere strictly
to the general instructions below on style, arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal.
(6) Please ensure
that the letter "l" and digit "1", and also the letter "O" and digit "0" are used properly, and format your article (tabs, indents, etc.)
consistently. Characters not available on your word processor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but
indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha, < alpha >, @, etc., for the Greek letter α). Such codes should be used consistently
throughout the entire text; a list of codes used should accompany the electronic manuscript. Do not allow your word processor to introduce
word breaks and do not use a justified layout.
(7) Manuscripts should be double spaced, with wide margins, and printed on one side
of the paper only. All pages should be numbered consequently. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and legends for
the figures should be printed on separate pages.
(8) The first page of the manuscript should contain the following information:
(i) the title; (ii) the name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s); (iii) an abstract of not more than 100 words. A footnote
on the same sheet should give the name, address, and telephone and fax numbers, and E-mail address of the corresponding author.
(9)
The first page of the manuscript should also contain at least one classification code according to the Classification System for Journal
Articles as used by the Journal of Economic Literature; in addition, up to five key words should be supplied.
(10) Acknowledgements
and information on grants received can be given in a first footnote, which should not be included in the consecutive numbering of footnotes.
(11) Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with superscript Arabic numerals. They
should be double spaced and not include displayed formulae or tables.
(12) Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout
the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated,
it is of great help to the referees if the full derivation can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
(13) References
to publications should be as follows: "Smith (1992) reported that..." or "This problem has been studied previously (e.g., Smith et al.,
1969)." The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those
on the list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices, but before tables and legends for
figures). It should be double spaced and listed in alphabetical order by author's name. References should appear as follows: For

Note that journal titles should not be abbreviated.
(14) For illustrations, care should be taken
that lettering and symbols are of a comparable size. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered
consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. The illustrations should be clearly marked with the figure number. Illustrations can be
printed in colour when they are judged by the Editor to be essential to the presentation. The publisher and the author will each bear
part of the extra costs involved. Further information concerning colour illustrations and the costs to the author can be obtained from
the publisher.
(15) Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals.
(16) On acceptance of their paper,
authors are offered the possibility to submit a complete set of any data and computer code used in the paper. Computer code necessary
to run a commercial program (e.g. SAS, LIMDEP, etc.) or the source code of a non-commercial program may be submitted. What is useful
differs with each paper but the intention is that the results of the paper can be replicated with this code given access to any commercial
program used to obtain the results. The data, computer programs and code will be made available to the public through the Journal
of Economic Dynamics and Control data archive. Guidelines for users of this archive will be published in this journal periodically
and also at the journal's website.
Any manuscript which does not conform to the above instructions may be returned for the necessary
revision before publication.
(17)Author Proofs and reprints
Page proofs will be sent electronically to the corresponding
author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author. Corrections should be restricted
to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. Extensive alterations will be charged.
A PDF file of the published
article, including a cover sheet and a disclaimer outlining the terms and condition of use will be provided free of charge. Alternatively
the corresponding author can choose to receive 50 complimentary reprints.
