(2) Submission: can be submitted electronically.

The submission of your manuscript as a PDF File is strongly encouraged. For further information please visit the JEDC editorial office website http://www.jedc.com.

Questions regarding submissions can also be addressed via e-mail to jedc@uva.nl. You will receive confirmation of your submission as well as the name of the Editor who will be in charge of the evaluation process regarding your paper upon receipt of the submission and submission fee.

(3) A payment covering the submission fee of USD 100.00 or 70 Euro should accompany all manuscripts. The fee can be paid online via PayPal, either by credit card or by using your PayPal account. Further information and a link to the JEDC PayPal site can be found at the JEDC editorial office website: http://www.jedc.com. Submission fees will be used to cover editorial expenses and/or referee rewards and are non-refundable.

(4) Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. For detailed information on Ethics in Publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication see http://www.elsevier.com/publishingethics and http://www.elsevier.com/ethicalguidelines.
Papers will be pre-screened by the Editors for suitability. Because of the increased number of submissions it has become editorial policy to reject part of the submissions immediately ("desk rejections") without sending them to referees. Submission fees for these "desk rejections" will be non-refundable. After this first selection papers will be circulated in an effort to get good referee reports. A submission implies an author's consent on this procedure. 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.
Please note that the authors should also inform the handling co-editor about any related work submitted elsewhere during all stages of the review process.

(5) Papers that are accepted for publication should be sent electronically to jedc@uva.nl. 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, %, &, * 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 monographs
Hawawini, G., Swary, I., 1990. Mergers and Acquisitions in the U.S. Banking Industry: Evidence from the Capital Markets. North-Holland, Amsterdam.
For contributions to collective works
Brunner, K., Meltzer, A.H., 1990. Money supply, in: Friedman, B.M., Hahn, F.H. (Eds.), Handbook of Monetary Economics, Vol. 1. North-Holland, Amsterdam, pp. 357-396.
For periodicals
Griffiths, W., Judge, G., 1992. Testing and estimating location vectors when the error covariance matrix is unknown. Journal of Econometrics 54, 121-138.

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.

The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
