Abstract

The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper. It should be clear, descriptive, self-explanatory and not longer than 150 words. It should also be suitable for publication in abstracting services. Please avoid using math formulas as much as possible. We recommend 3--8 keywords and up to 3 JEL codes.

1Introduction

This template helps you to create a properly formatted LaTeX\LaTeX manuscript. Prepare your paper in the same style as used in this sample .pdf file. Try to avoid excessive use of italics and bold face; underlining is generally banned (except for exceptional cases). Please do not use any LaTeX\LaTeX or TeX\TeX commands that affect the layout or formatting of your document (i.e., commands like \textheight, \textwidth, etc.). Note that the Introduction should be Section Introduction it should not immediately follow the abstract without a heading.

2Section headings

Here are some subsections:

2.1A subsection

Regular text.

2.1.1A subsubsection

Regular text.

Paragraph heading If you want to add mini-headings for paragraphs without numbers please use \paragraph*{}.

3.1Lists

The following is an example of an itemized list, two levels deep.

The following is an example of an enumerated list, two levels deep.

  1. This is the first item of an enumerated list. Each item in the list is marked with a “tick.
    The document style determines what kind of tick mark is used.

  2. This is the second item of the list. It contains another list nested inside of it.

    1. This is the first item of an enumerated list that is nested within.

    2. This is the second item of the inner list. allows you to nest lists deeper than you really should.

    This is the rest of the second item of the outer list.

  3. This is the third item of the list.

Do not use (1), (2), etc. for items in order to avoid confusion with numbered equations.

3.2Punctuation

Avoid unnecessary hyphenation; many hyphenated words can be treated as one or two words. Dashes come in three sizes: a hyphen, an intra-word dash like “UU-statistics” or “the time-homogeneous model”; a medium dash (also called an “en-dash”) for number ranges or between two equal entities like “1--2” or “Cauchy--Schwarz inequality”; and a punctuation dash (also called an “em-dash”) in place of a comma, semicolon, colon or parentheses---like this.

Generating an ellipsis \ldots with the right spacing around the periods requires using \ldots.

Theoretical Economics is using longer spaces after periods, please add \ after periods that are not at the end of a sentence, in order to have regular spaces. For example, if there is an abbreviation (e.g., econ. theory) which is not the end of an article but appears in a middle of a sentence, please code it as (e.g., econ.\ theory).

3.3Citation

Only include in the reference list entries for which there are text citations, and make sure all citations are included in the reference list. Simple author and year cite: Aumann (1987). Multiple bibliography items cite: Peck (1994)Enelow & Hinich (1990)Hinich & Enelow (1990)Cahuc et al. (2006). Author only cite: Hinich & Enelow. Year only cite: (1990). Citing bibliography with object Aumann (1987). Citing within brackets is done with the same commands (e.g., Peck (1994)Enelow & Hinich (1990)Hinich & Enelow (1990)).

4Fonts

Please use text fonts in text mode, e.g.:

Please use mathematical fonts in mathematical mode, e.g.:

Note that \mathcal, \mathbb belongs to capital letters-only font typefaces.

5Notes

Footnotes[1] pose no problems in text.[2] Please do not add footnotes on math.

6Numbers

A decimal point always should be preceded by a whole number and never should be left “naked.” Decimal expressions of numbers less than 1 always should be preceded by a zero (0) to enhance the visibility of the decimal. For example, .3 should be 0.3. This applies to text, tables, and figures.

7Quotations

Text is displayed by indenting it from the left margin. There are short quotations

This is a short quotation. It consists of a single paragraph of text. There is no paragraph indentation. It should be coded between \begin{quote} and \end{quote}.

and longer ones.

This is a longer quotation. It consists of two paragraphs of text. The beginning of each paragraph is indicated by an extra indentation.

This is the second paragraph of the quotation. It is just as dull as the first paragraph. It should be coded between \begin{quotation} and \end{quotation}.

8Environments

Please use regular counters (Theorem 1) as opposed to counters belonging on sections (Theorem 3.1). Results (Lemmas, Propositions, Theorems, Claims) can be on the same or different counters.

8.1Examples for plain-style environments

8.2Examples for definition-style environments

The following environments can be numbered or not; if numbered, they should be on different counters from results.

9Equations and the like

Only number equations to which there is a subsequent reference. See equations below (1)--(4). Please punctuate equations as you would punctuate a sentence, that is add a comma between two equations and add a period if it ends a sentence.

Two equations:

Cs=KMμ/μx1μ/μxC_{s} = K_{M} \frac{\mu/\mu_{x}}{1-\mu/\mu_{x}}

and

G=PoptPrefPref100(%).G = \frac{P_{\mathrm{opt}} - P_{\mathrm{ref}}}{P_{\mathrm{ref}}} 100(\%).

Equation arrays:

dSdt=σX+sFF,dXdt=μX,dPdt=πXkhP,dVdt=F.\begin{align} \frac{dS}{dt} & = - \sigma X + s_{F} F,\\ \frac{dX}{dt} & = \mu X,\\ \frac{dP}{dt} & = \pi X - k_{h} P,\\ \frac{dV}{dt} & = F. \end{align}

One long equation, note that the equation number is on the last line:

μnormal=μxCsKxCx+Cs=μnormalYx/s(1H(Cs))(ms+π/Yp/s)=μnormal/Yx/s+H(Cs)(ms+π/Yp/s).\begin{align*} \mu_{\text{normal}} & = & \mu_{x} \frac{C_{s}}{K_{x}C_{x}+C_{s}} \nonumber\\ & = & \mu_{\text{normal}} - Y_{x/s}\bigl(1-H(C_{s})\bigr)(m_{s}+\pi /Y_{p/s})\nonumber\\ & = & \mu_{\text{normal}}/Y_{x/s}+ H(C_{s}) (m_{s}+ \pi /Y_{p/s}). \end{align*}

Note that variables made of more than one letter should use command \mathit, e.g., sov=550\mathit{sov}=550, where sov\mathit{sov} is sum of votes. Abbreviations used in subscripts or superscripts should use \mathrm, e.g., tmaxtmin=10t_{\mathrm{max}}-t_{\mathrm{min}} =10. Operator names should use \operatorname, e.g. AR(1)\operatorname{AR}(1). Also, note that \emptyset symbol is preferred to \varnothing.

10Tables and figures

Cross-references to labeled tables: As you can see in Table 1 and also in Table 2.

Sample of cross-reference to figure: Figure 1 shows that it is not easy to get something on paper. Note that figures will be in grayscale in the printed version.
