Instructions to authors

1. Submission. Authors should submit three copies of their papers along with an abstract to Professor Carlos Pestana Barros, Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Rua Miguel Lupi, 20 - 1249-078 Lisboa. Submission of manuscripts on disc is encouraged. These should be prepared using a standard word processing package. Three printed copies are to be supplied with the disc, these matching the contents of the discs exactly. The contents of the papers shall be the sole responsibility of the authors and publication shall not imply the concurrence of editors or publishers.

2. The manuscript. Manuscripts must be typed with a double spacing throughout on one side of A4 paper only, with a 4 cm left-hand margin. The text and references should be checked thoroughly for errors before submission. It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that the typescript is correct in style, syntax and spelling (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary).

Papers should normally be divided into headed sections.

3. Title page. The first page of the typescript must contain: the full title; the affiliation and full address of all author(s); a running title of not more than 75 letters and spaces; an abstract of not more than 200 words; the name and full postal address of the author who will be responsible for correspondence and correcting of proofs.

4. Abbreviations. Any word or words to be abbreviated should be written in full when first mentioned followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.

5. Illustrations. Illustrations should not be inserted in the pages of the manuscript but supplied separately with the typescript. Line drawings should be drawn clearly in Indian ink on tracing paper and at about double the intended size. Lettering should be stencilled either in Indian ink or Letraset, again large enough for any necessary reduction; typewritten annotations are not acceptable. The captions should be typed on a separate page at the end of the manuscript and not included in the text or under the illustrations.

6. Tables. Tables should be numbered and headed with short titles. They should be typed on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript.

7. Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements should appear at the end of the text.

8. References. The Harvard system is used. When quoted in the text the style is: ... Smith (1972)... or (Brown and Jones, 1972) or... Smilh et al (1972a). References are listed alphabetically after the text. Journal and book titles should be written out in full. Examples are:

    Rebelo, S. (1991), Long-Term Policy Analysis and Long-Run Growth. Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 99 (June), 3: 500-21.

    Gerrard, B. (1995), Probability, Uncertainty and Behaviour: a Keynesian Perspective. In Keynes, Knowledge and Uncertainty. Dow, S. and Hillard, J. (eds). Hants, Elgar.

9. Footnotes. These should be numbered consecutively in the text and gathered on a separate sheet of the typescript.

10. Proofs. Proofs will be sent to the 'corresponding' author for correction. These must be corrected and returned within three weeks otherwise publication may be delayed. Alterations to proofs other than corrections of printer's errors may be charged to the authors.

11. Offprints. Each corresponding author will receive 3 free offprints. Extra copies can be purchased on request.

12. Copyright. Submission of a paper to European Journal of Economics and Finance will be taken to imply that it presents original unpublished work, not under consideration for publication elsewhere. A copyright assignment form will be sent to the authors of submitted papers prior to refereeing. This publishing agreement should be completed and returned to the editorial office. The agreement becomes void if the paper is not accepted for publication in the journal. The copyright covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any other reproductions of similar nature, and translations.

Permission to publish illustrations must be obtained by the author before submission and any acknowledgements should be included in the captions.
