PREPARATION OF A MANUSCRIPT
The manuscripts must be clearly written in English. Footnotes and unusual symbols should be avoided. It is strongly recommended to limit the length of a manuscript to less than 25 pages (Times New Roman CE fond type, 12 points, 1.5-spaced format, 2.5 cm margins, left justification, without hyphenation).
Title page (page 1). The top of the title page should contain the article title, names of all authors with affiliations (name of the institution, city, country, ORCID, e-mail) and abstract. The abstract should be a single paragraph of less than Title page (page 1). An abstract is often presented separately, so any references to numbered items in the paper or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided. Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. After the abstract a list of up to 6 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching and next primary and secondary 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification or Journal of Economic Literature codes should be included.
Sections. An article should be divided into numbered sections and subsections (1.1, 1.2, etc.). Any subsection may be given a brief heading.
Equations. Equations should be typewritten and the numbers for displayed equations should be placed in parentheses at the right margin. References to equations should use the form ''equation (3.1)'' or simply ''(3.1)''. Automatic numbering of the equations is strongly preferred.
Figures and tables. Tables and figures should be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper and carry a brief title. Figures must be prepared in a form suitable for direct reproduction. If complicated figures or diagrams are used, the corresponding graphic files should be included, preferably in eps format. Digital artwork of at least 300 dpi resolution is accepted.
Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements, if any, should be placed before the references.
References. The references should follow Harvard style. References should be arranged in alphabetical order and their list should be as free from author macros as possible. Italics is the preferred format for titles of books and journals. The following general rules also apply:
in journal titles the first letter of the first word of the title should be capitalised,
in book titles first letter of each word except ''and'', ''of'' etc. should be capitalised.
Names of journals and references should be in full.
Every reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list and vice versa.
In-text citations should be indicated by the author's last name and year of publication, e.g., (Smith, 2005) or Smith (2005). Works by the same author should be listed in order of publication. More than one reference from the same author in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
