Instruction to Authors |

| |
The author(s) transfer(s) the copyright to his/their
article to Springer-Verlag effective if and when the
article is accepted for publication. The copyright
covers the exclusive and unlimited rights to reproduce
and distribute the article in any form of
reproduction (printing, electronic media or any other
form); it also covers translation rights for all languages
and countries. For U.S. authors the copyright
is transferred to the extent transferable.
When preparing manuscripts for the journal, please
note the following points:
- Submitted manuscripts should make a new or
substantial contribution to the body of knowledge.
Policy-oriented articles should meet the test of feasibility
and effectiveness of the proposed measures.
Commissioned articles should focus on technical
insights or important lessons to be learnt from a
specific body of research. Simultaneous submission
to other journals is not permissible, nor should
the paper have been accepted or published elsewhere.
- The refereeing process is single blind.
- Papers should preferably be submitted online via the
webpage www.econ-international.net or sent as a pdf file attachment
to the editors (editors@econ-international.net). In case regular
mail is used, three copies of the manuscript must be submitted to
Prof. P.J.J. Welfens and a disk containing the electronic version
(one file including text and figures) should be included.
- All pages of a manuscript should be numbered
consecutively. Title and subtitle should be short.
The first page should contain: (i) the title; (ii) the
name(s), institutional affiliation(s) with complete
postal address(es) of the author(s); (iii) an abstract
of not more than 15 lines and (iv) up to 5 key
words and (v) 3-4 JEL classifications. To facilitate
communication between the authors, editors
and publishers, the author should furnish (vi) an
e-mail or fax number on the title page of the
manuscript.
- Acknowledgements and information on grants
received can be given in a first footnote, which
should not be included in the consecutive numbering
of footnotes.
- Important formulae (displayed) should be numbered
consecutively throughout the manuscript as
(1), (2), etc. on the right-hand side of the page.
- Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and be
numbered consecutively throughout the text with
superscript arabic numerals.
- The list of references should include only
publications cited in the text. The references should
be cited in alphabetical order under the first author’s
name. Citations in the text should be by author
and year.
Journal papers: (1) names and initials of all authors;
(2) year of publication in parentheses; (3) full title of
cited paper; (4) full title of journal; (5) arabic volume
numbers; (6) first and last page numbers, e.g.:

- Figures are to be numbered consecutively and
should be submitted separately. For line drawings,
good-quality glossy prints in the desired final size
are preferred. Computer printouts are acceptable,
provided they are legible and reproducible.
- Tables are to be numbered separately from the
illustrations. Each table should have a short title.
- Page proofs will be sent to the author(s) via
e-mail. Corrections should be limited to printer’s
errors, since the costs involved in making any other
alterations are substantial and may be charged to
the author. When returning proofs, the author(s)
must agree to transfer copyright of the manuscript
to the publisher. The author is entitled to formal corrections
only. Substantial changes in content, e.g.
new results, corrected values, title and authorship
are not allowed without the approval of the responsible
Editor. In such a case please contact one of
the Editors before returning the proofs to the publisher.
- Manuscripts in electronic form. Submission
of data is encouraged. Please do not transmit any
such data to the publisher until your manuscript has
been reviewed and accepted for publication.
Authors using common word-processing systems
are requested to follow the "Technical Instructions
for Manuscripts and Illustrations in Electronic Form".
Further information can be found at:
springeronline.com
Authors who prepare their papers with TeX are
encouraged to ask for Springer-Verlag’s TeX macropackages
available at springeronline.com
After the paper has been accepted by the editor(s),
the author should submit a file containing the text
in final form as well as a pdf file.
One complimentary copy is supplied for each author.
Thirty (30) offprints of each contribution are provided
free of charge. Orders for additional offprints can be
placed by returning the order form with the corrected
proofs. When the author orders additional offprints,
he is entitled to receive a pdf file of his article for his
own personal use.
