Manuscripts should be double spaced, with wide margins, and printed on one side of the paper only. All pages should be numbered consequently. Titles and subtitles should be short. References, tables, and figures should be printed on separate pages.

The first page of the manuscript should contain at least one classification code according to the Classification System for Journal Articles as used by the Journal of Economic Literature; in addition, up to five key words should be supplied.

Displayed formulae should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript as (1), (2), etc. against the right-hand margin of the page. In cases where the mathematical derivation of formulae is complex it must be developed in the Appendix at the end of the paper and before the references.

References to publications should be as follows:

`Rubinstein (1994) reported that...' or as suggested by  Jagannathan et al (1996)…”.

The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those on the list.

Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to sign a "Journal Publishing Agreement” in order to provide AEFIN with the copyright. Proofs of accepted papers will be sent to the corresponding author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author.
