Author Guidelines

 
Guidelines for authors:
 
The articles are published in English.

The manuscripts should follow these guidelines:
(1) The text should have between 10 and 20 pages (orientation: Portrait), not numbered, recto
only, A4 format, characters Arial 10, and spacing "Single". Margins: top & bottom: 4.8 cm, left &
right: 4 cm, header & footer: 4.8 cm. Please see the template uploaded on the webpage.
(2) The first page (which will be eliminated in order to make the evaluation, by one of the
Advisory Board members, anonymous) must contain the title of the article, the author's name;
his/her complete identification information (institutional affiliation, academic title, professional
address, E-mail) and acknowledgements or potential thanks for the technical and/or the
financial help. The title must be precise, clear and in agreement with the main theme of the text.
Except the first page, the authors must make sure that they cannot be identified when reading
the manuscript.
(3) The second page will contain the title of the article and an abstract (in English) of 5-10 lines,
which should present the main results of the article. The summary must inform the reader about
the content of the article. The summary must be followed by the JEL Classification and by 3-5
keywords in English which define best the article.
(4) The text will start properly on page 3.
(5) In the introduction, the author must present the relevance of the article for the respective
field and must review the main results obtained by the previous literature. The conclusions
should summarize clearly the results and the consequences.
(6) The presentation of the bibliographical references:
- In the text the references quotes will appear between brackets, with the name and the
publication date, e.g.: (Denico, 2017).
- For two co-authors they will use for example (Dixit and Stiglitz, 1977). - In the case of three or more than three authors, only the first will be mentioned, under the form (Brooks et al., 1998).
- If two references have the same author and the same publication year, they will be
differentiated through letters (McFadden, 1984a). These letters will also appear in the
bibliography. At the end of the article the references will be presented as follows:
