CES Discussion Paper Guidelines
- Submit a paper to the series well in advance of its scheduled
publication in a journal or book (at least six months). We cannot
distribute Discussion Papers once they have been published elsewhere.
(Note that inclusion in the CES Discussion Paper Series does
not preclude simultaneous or later inclusion in any other working
paper series.) Your paper will be put on the Internet and sent
to CES researchers as well as to other CES research associates.
You will receive 5 copies of the paper for your own use.
- Limit length to 75 pages (including tables, figures, references,
and appendices).
- Send a completed submission form.
Include JEL numbers, keywords and complete mailing addresses
for all authors of the paper.
- Send two copies of the paper. Include a one-page, 100-200
word, double-spaced abstract. The abstract should convey the
results of the paper in clear, concise, non-technical language
and should emphasize your main findings rather than simply posing
questions or mentioning your previous research. Please use active
voice. Also, papers should include references. Remember that
explicit policy recommendations are prohibited.
- Papers must be double-spaced throughout with at least a 1"
margin on all four sides. Use a standard size font (10-12 point)
for text, especially for figures and tables.
- Send a diskette containing an electronic version of the paper,
in WordPerfect or Microsoft Word format. We strongly prefer
these two formats given our plans to create PDF files for our
web page. An electronic version of your paper (e.g. a PDF file
itself) that would facilitate this would be helpful.
