Author Guidelines
The submission must be original, previously unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Please ensure your paper includes an abstract, keywords, and at least three JEL classifications, plus an address for correspondence.
The use of mathematics should be kept to a minimum and, if it is substantial, it should be put in an appendix. The article should be clear without the reader having to understand the nuances of mathematics. Specifically the introduction, premises and conclusions should be non-mathematical.
Empirical material which cannot be easily accommodated in the body of the article should be made available in appendices.
Manuscripts should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document.
