INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

• Guidelines for presenting manuscripts

1. The paper should clearly state a hypothesis.

2. There is a preference for papers that develop a mathematical model supporting the hypothesis or papers that use statistics or econometric methods to test the hypothesis. Additionally, the papers should fall within the scope of the journal.

3. The paper should be original, unpublished and has not been submitted for publication to other journals or as a chapter in a book.

5. The title of the article should be no longer than 10 words.

6. The abstract should be no longer than 150 words. JEL classification codes should be specified after the abstract. The abstract should briefly specify:
