All submissions to the Journal of International Economics are handled online. Via http://ees.elsevier.com/jie you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various 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.

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carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without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
Papers
in excess of 35 pages will not ordinarily be considered for publication
Language. Articles must be written in good English
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 using appropriate script (capital cases as first letter
of authors' first and surnames followed by lower cases). Place 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. Since surnames are capitalized, Chinese names may either be in Chinese order (surname first) or English order (surname last).
Surnames listed in the text or references are not capitalized.
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.
Acknowledgements. Acknowledgments and information on grants received can be given in
a footnote on the first page of the manuscript or before the References.
Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals and printed on separate sheets.
Any manuscript which does not conform to the above instructions may be returned for the necessary revision before publication.
Footnotes.
The use of footnotes should be kept to a minimum and numbered consecutively throughout the text with superscript Arabic numerals.
Formulae. Important formulae (displayed) should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. on the
right-hand side of the page. Where the derivation of formulae has been abbreviated, it is of great help to referees if the full derivation
can be presented on a separate sheet (not to be published).
References. 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:

Note that journal titles should not be abbreviated.
Citing and listing of Web references. As a minimum, the
full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (Author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also
be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included
in the reference list.
