The Journal of Economic Theory publishes original articles in all fields of economic theory.
Submission of Manuscripts.
Manuscripts must be written in English and may initially be submitted electronically in pdf, dvi, or ps format. These files may be sent
on floppy disks to the address below or please submit your manuscript electronically in pdf format at http://gemini.econ.umd.edu/jet.
Hard-copy manuscripts may also be submitted, in triplicate, including three sets of good-quality figures, to:
Journal of Economic
Theory New York University Room 440 6 Washington Square North New York NY 10003 USA
Authors submitting
hard copies are urged to include with their submission a pdf, dvi, or ps version of the complete manuscript, including the figures and
tables and with fonts properly embedded in the document. In many cases, having the manuscript in electronic form will permit a more timely
review of the manuscript. The pdf, dvi, or ps version will not be used for copy editing or printing. (For instructions on embedding all
fonts used into pdf manuscripts, see http://www.nyu.edu/jet/pdf.html.)
There are no submission fees or page charges.
Hard-copy manuscripts should be accompanied by signed cover letters. Manuscripts submitted by e-mail should be accompanied by messages
indicating that the submission is for the Journal of Economic Theory.
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding
that the same work has not been and will not be nor is currently submitted elsewhere. While the manuscript is under editorial review,
it is the responsibility of the authors to keep the Editor informed about submissions, publication plans, and publication of related
research (or abstracts thereof) in other outlets, including letters journals, journals in other disciplines, collections of articles,
and published dissertations. It is understood that submission of the paper for publication has been approved by all of the authors and
by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved
such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other materials published in the Journal
of Economic Theory represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinion of the Editorial Board
or the Publisher.
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if the manuscript is accepted for publication,
copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher.
The Copyright Transfer Agreement should be signed by the appropriate person
Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions
to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material.
Electronic Transmission of Accepted Manuscripts.
Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via either computer disk or e-mail, after all
revisions have been incorporated and the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission as an e-mail attachment (to jetoffice@nyu.edu)
is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes. Manuscripts prepared
using Microsoft Word, TeX, or LaTeX are welcome; however, LaTeX(2e) is strongly preferred. The Elsevier LaTeX package (including detailed
instructions for LaTeX preparation) is available at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex. Note that the use of specialized
versions of TeX or extensive use of custom macros may necessitate conventional typesetting from the hard-copy manuscript. Note also that
pdf or dvi files cannot be used for electronic copy editing or printing and will also necessitate conventional typesetting from the hard-copy
manuscript. Hard-copy print outs of the manuscript and art must also be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style
of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.
Preparation of Manuscript. Manuscripts should be double-spaced
throughout on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch or A4 white paper. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title
Page(p. 1) should contain the article title, authors? names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for
manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The Abstract (p. 2) must be a single
paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 100 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 key words that
will be useful for indexing or searching should be included. In addition, Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers
that identify the subject area of the article should be listed at the end of the abstract. The JEL Classification Numbers
can be found at http://www.aeaweb.org/journal/elclasjn.html.
References should be cited in the text by an Arabic
number between square brackets, as [1], [1,2], [1, Theorem 1.5], etc. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be
included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. Please note the following
examples.

For unpublished lectures or
symposia, include title of the paper, name of the sponsoring society in full, and date. For journal names, follow the Journal of Economic
Literature abbreviations. The abbreviations can be found at http://www.nyu.edu/jet/abbrev.html.
Figures should
be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors
on the back of each figure. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and
must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Roman
numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly
above and with essential footnotes below. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Equations should be typewritten
and with the number placed in parentheses at the right margin. Reference to equations should use the form "Eq. (3)" or simply (3).
Supplementary Materials. Authors should include with the original submission materials such as datasets, statistical analyses,
special computer codes, and detailed computations that are not intended for publication but that are critical and important for obtaining
the results of the manuscript. Datasets and computer codes should, if possible, be in plain ASCII (text) files that can be read on any
computer system. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, some of these materials may be posted on the JET Supplementary
Materials Web site at http://www.nyu.edu/jet/supplementary.html. Errata and corrigenda that are based on articles published
in JET may also be posted at this site.
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 25 complimentary reprints.
