Introduction
International Econometric Review (IER), sponsored by the Econometric Research Association, is an independent international journal, which publishes quarterly. IER aims to publish articles of high quality dealing with the application of existing as well as new econometric techniques to a wide variety of problems in economics and related subjects, covering topics in estimation, hypothesis testing, forecasting, and policy analysis. The emphasis is on the careful and rigorous application of econometric techniques and the appropriate interpretation of the results. IER particularly emphasizes the replicability of empirical results especially using international data. Authors are expected to make available their data set and computer programs in case readers, editors or referees should want to replicate results reported in submitted contributions.
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been and will not be published nor is presently submitted elsewhere, and that all persons listed as authors have given their approval for the submission of the paper; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Any opinions expressed in articles and any other material published in IER are only those of authors and not necessarily those of the editor(s), the co-editor(s), the associate editors, the editorial assistant(s), any person(s) associated with the management of the journal. Authors are personally responsible to obtain permission for reprint of previously published material in other sources. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright of the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. The Publisher will not refuse any reasonable request by the author for permission to reproduce any of his or her contributions to the journal. There is no submission fee.
All submissions should be sent to . You will receive an acknowledgement of your submission and you will be notified within a few weeks as to whether your paper has been passed on for the peer review process. When a paper is accepted, authors shall be provided with an exact MS word sample file to prepare their papers in accordance with the journal's final product style as much as possible. Authors should note that only MS word (.doc, .rtf) files are accepted for final production.

1. Author Contact Details & Biographies
• the title of the article
• a short running title of no more than 40 characters (including spaces)
• the authors' full names and affiliations
• a short biography of no more than 100 words for each author
• contact details (including email address, full postal address, telephone and fax numbers) for the corresponding author
  Please note that your submission will not be accepted without this file.

2. Article
• the title of the article
• an unstructured abstract of no more than 100 words. The abstract should include only text. Avoid the use of abbreviations and references
• 3-6 keywords (for indexing and for web searches in your manuscript)
• the full article text
• endnotes (if desired), indicated by superscript Arabic numerals cited in order throughout the article
• references (see formatting instructions below)
  Please make sure that this file does not contain any information identifying the author(s).

• Citations should appear within the text as (author year, page number), e.g. (Schelling 1978, 59) and included in the main text.
• Citations of works by two authors should include both names separated by “and”, then the year, e.g. (Morgan and Morrison, 1999). Use “et al.” after the first name when there are three or more authors, e.g. (Heap, et al. 1992).
• Short quotations of less than four lines should be in double quotation marks, and followed by a bracketed reference including (author year, page number), e.g. (Quine 1953, 42).
• Extended quotations of four lines or more should be indented, single spaced, without quotation marks, and separated from the rest of the text by an additional line.
• Conventions such as “ibid” or “op. cit.” should not be used.
• Substantive footnotes should be included at the bottom of the page denoted by Arabic numbers.
• Footnotes should not be used for citations and should not be excessive.
• Articles and book reviews should include a complete Bibliography at the end of the document, detailing every work actually cited in the text: follow the style illustrated below. Note: Do not use “et al.” in the Bibliography: spell out each author’s surname, including only the first letter of the name.
• Each reference should start with the surname then the first letter of the name of the corresponding author followed by the first letter of the name and surname of other authors.

Other Notes
• Authors must have permission to publish any materials for which they do not own the copyright.
• At the proof stage, authors can only make typographical changes to the manuscript.

Use the following guidelines to ensure that the electronic manuscript and printout you submit to us will be ready to edit without further ado:
• Your manuscript should be double-spaced throughout.
• Make sure that there are no comments, annotations, or hidden text whatsoever in the final version of the manuscript that you submit to the press. In addition, make sure that all “tracked changes” or other revision marks have been accepted as final (i.e., there should be no revision marks, hidden or otherwise, in the final manuscript).
• Do not use the space bar to achieve tabs or indents or to align text.
• Do not use the automatic hyphenation feature. There should be no “optional” hyphens in your manuscript.
• If a chapter has more than one level of subheads, differentiate them visually (with centering, bolding, underlining, etc.) or, preferably, by typing (using angle brackets) <A>, <B>, or <C> at the beginning of each subhead, as appropriate.
• To insert notes, use your software’s built-in endnotes feature. Use the feature “as is”; please don’t reset any of the options. The benefit of the built-in notes feature is that it connects the text of a specific note with a specific place in the text. These “embedded” notes can be moved, combined, or deleted with ease; the number in the text will always carry its text with it, and the notes will automatically renumber as needed. All formatting (of number size and style, placement of the notes relative to the book as a whole, and even conversion of endnotes to footnotes and vice versa) will be performed by the typesetter. If you do not use your word processor’s note-making feature, use superscript to indicate note numbers in text.
• Do not assign “styles” to achieve different formats for subheads, block quotes, paragraph indents, etc. The default, or “normal,” style should be the only style in your manuscript. If your program assigns a special style to automatic endnotes or footnotes, however, that’s okay.
• Produce any special characters using your word-processing program’s built-in character set.
• In a list of references, for successive works by the same author, use six hyphens (i.e., ------) in place of the author’s name after the first appearance.
• Do not insert an additional hard return to create extra space between paragraphs. Where you wish a space break in the book to indicate a change of subject, type “” on a line by itself.
• Format prose extracts (block quotations) and verse extracts with your word processor’s feature for indenting paragraphs. Insert a hard return only at the end of a paragraph or a line of verse. Do not “line up” text using the space bar—adjust the indent level instead.
• Do not “manually” create hanging indents for your bibliography by using hard returns and tabs in the middle of an entry. Instead, use the hanging indent feature in your word processing program. If you are unsure how to do this, simply indent the first line of each entry (i.e., format them like the paragraphs in the rest of the book).
• For each table, illustration, photograph, or figure of any kind, please place a bracketed, sequentially numbered “callout” in the manuscript.
• No two pages of your manuscript should have the same number, and no page should be submitted unnumbered. Either number the pages according to section (i.e., “chap. 1, p. 57”) or consecutively throughout the manuscript.
• Copy your final, completed manuscript onto disk, then print two copies of your final manuscript from this same disk. The electronic files and the printouts that the press receives must match exactly. Do not make any changes to the disk after you have printed out the final manuscript. If you must make changes after you have prepared the final printout, do so on the printout (hard copy) in colored pencil. Supply a list of page numbers with changes.
  Make sure that there are no comments, annotations, or hidden text whatsoever in the final version of the manuscript that you submit to the press. In addition, make sure that all “tracked changes” or other revision marks have been accepted as final (i.e., there should be no revision marks, hidden or otherwise, in the final manuscript).
