JEI Submission Instructions
Journal of Economic Issues
All new submissions should be submitted electronically at https://editorialexpress.com/jei. Word, text, and PDF formats are acceptable. Inquiries concerning electronic submission should be addressed to William Waller at Log into your account to view the email address.. We will assume that papers submitted to this journal are not under consideration elsewhere. Authors of accepted papers must agree to transfer copyright to the JEI.
Manuscript Preparation
To ensure inclusion of references and notes, and proper numbering of the notes, please do not use your word processor’s footnote or endnote feature to code your notes. Instead, insert a number where you want the note, using your font feature to make it superscript. In addition, turn off all auto-style or auto-format functions and any kind of reference indexing. A first name or two initials must be supplied for each author in the reference list. When first mentioning an individual in the text or notes provide their first name, if referring to their work, a last name is sufficient. Be sure all references cited in the text are listed in the references and that all works listed in the references are cited in the text. Do not use op cit or ibid. When creating tables and figures, keep in mind that a JEI page has a text area of four and three-quarters inches by seven inches. The minimum font size is eight points. In other words, a table in eight-point type that fills a standard sheet of paper is far too
large for our format. Tables and figures with landscape (sideways) orientation and two-page tables can be used if necessary. The JEI follows the current editions of The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
Authors’ Copies
Each author will receive a complimentary copy of the journal and a PDF file of his or her article in final form.
