Editorial Process

AEQ’s editorial process is double-blind. Submissions should contain no information that reveals the authors’ identity or affiliations.

General Formatting and Style

  • File Formats: All papers should be double-spaced, with pages in numbered sequence, and submitted as either Microsoft Word or LaTeX files (LaTeX Style Sheet). All tables and figures created in other programs should be provided separately in their original file formats.
  • English: AEQ accepts submissions in English only. If English is not your native language, please have your paper checked carefully by a native speaker or professional editor. Please consider that even small cases of incorrect usage (for example, wrong prepositions) may lead to serious misunderstandings of your key findings. Either US or UK English is fine, but please be consistent.
  • Capitalization: Paper title, main headings, and table titles should be capitalized (all words except a, and, the, and prepositions). Figure titles should be in lower case.
  • Tables / Figures: Please indicate where tables and figures should appear in the paper (“Table 1 about here”). All tables and figures should be submitted in black / gray tones (no colors) and should be provided as separate high-resolution files in their original file format.
  • Footnotes: Footnotes should be numbered consecutively and placed within the text. Endnotes should not be used. Citations in footnotes should look like this: 1 See Tichy (1994).
  • Commas: Use commas before and after the abbreviations i.e. and e.g. Use the “Oxford comma” after the penultimate item in lists of three or more items
  • Abstract and References:Please adhere closely to the instructions below.

Abstract

Authors must include a concise, factual abstract that states the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. The abstract must be able to stand alone. References should be avoided in the abstract, but if essential, cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. The abstract must be no more than 300 words in length. At the end of the abstract, please list at least five keywords and three JEL classification codes. Please ensure that you have chosen appropriate keywords for your article by using search engines or keywords tools to find which search terms are popular. Keywords and key phrases should be repeated 3-4 times throughout the abstract in the appropriate context.

References

  • In-text references should be in the following format:
    “…is driven by the exploitation of scale economies” (Krugman 1983, Helpman 1984).
  • References at the end of the paper should be in alphabetical order by author last name. References should be formatted in careful adherence to the examples below. Please note that only authors’ last names should be in italics, followed by a comma and first name initials only, with authors separated by slashes and the year of publication in parentheses followed by a colon. Journal article titles should be in quotation marks, with the comma inside the quotation marks, followed by journal name and volume number, comma, and pages (without “vol.”, “pp.” etc.). See the following examples:

    Banjeree, A. / Dolado, J. / Mestra, R. (1998): “Error-Correction Mechanism Tests for Cointegration in a Single-Equation Framework,” Journal of Times Series Analysis 19, 267-283.
