INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABSTRACT

Full-length articles and shorter papers must be preceded by an Abstract which should be short and concise: no longer than 100 words in length. (Please carefully adhere to this limit, as the abstract will appear in the JEL and abstracts longer than 100 words will not be published.) The abstract should be an overview of your paper, including significant keywords, but excluding references and equations. Type the abstract (double-spaced ) on the first page of the paper below the title and byline. Include the the JEL classification number(s) in parentheses at the end of the abstract, i.e., (JEL F31).
