EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE

Manuscripts must be written in a clear, concise, direct style.

Manuscripts are single-blind peer reviewed by reviewers and

associate editors. However, manuscripts are only sent for

review if the Editorial Board determines that the paper meets

the appropriate quality and relevance requirements.

The acceptance criteria for all manuscripts are the quality and

originality of the research and its signifi cance to economic

theory. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial

Board, who reserves the right to refuse any material for

publication. Where contributions are judged as acceptable

for publication, the Editors or the Publisher reserve the right

to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition

and improve communication between author and reader. If

extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be

returned to the author for revision.

Non-native English speaking authors are requested to have

the paper checked by a native English speaker before the fi nal

version of the paper is submitted.
