Instructions to Authors
Submission Guidelines
Conditions. Submission of a paper will be held to imply that (a) the material in the manuscript
has not been published, is not being published or considered for publication elsewhere, and will not be
submitted for publication elsewhere unless rejected by the journal editor or withdrawn by the author(s);
(b) the material in the manuscript, so far as the author(s) knows, does not infringe upon other published
material covered by copyright; (c) the author鈥檚 (s鈥�) employer, if any, either does not assert an ownership
interest in the manuscript or is willing to convey such interest to the American Agricultural Economics
Association (AAEA); and (d) submission of the manuscript gives the AAEA exclusive right to publish,
to copyright, and to allow or deny reproduction of it, in whole or in part. If the applicability of point (a)
is unclear, the author(s) must provide an explanation in the cover letter.
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the American Agricultural Economics Association. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. (Papers subject to government or Crown copyright are exempt from this requirement). To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office.
What and where to submit. For the initial submission, send four fully legible copies to:
Ian Sheldon, AJAE, 103 Agricultural Administration, 2120 Fyffe Rd., The Ohio State University,
Columbus, OH 43210-1067. Subsequent editorial correspondence should be with the editor in charge
of the manuscript. Model documentation and other supporting materials may be submitted with the
manuscript to facilitate the review process. The AJAE does not ordinarily consider for publication
manuscripts exceeding thirty double-spaced pages (everything included).
Authors鈥� identification. To protect their anonymity in the review process, authors should identify
themselves only in the front page of the manuscript. The front page of the manuscript should include
the following: (a) title; (b) author鈥檚 (s鈥�) name(s); (c) name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and
e-mail address of the author serving as the contact person; (d) date of submission of the manuscript.
Text preparation. Double-space all material, including footnotes, tables, and references, on 81/2-
by-11-inch standard-weight white paper with 11/4-inch margins. Use 12-point Times or a similar type
style and size. The title of the manuscript should appear in the first page of the text, followed directly
by the introductory section. Provide short headings for each section and subsection. Do not number
sections and subsections.
Style. Follow A Manual of Style, 14th edition, by the University of Chicago Press and previous
issues of AJAE.
Data and documentation. Authors are expected to document their data sources, models, and
estimation procedures as thoroughly as possible and to make the data used available to others for
replication purposes.
Mathematical notation. Use only essential mathematical notation. Avoid using the same character
for both superscripts and subscripts or using capital letters for such, and whenever possible avoid
overbars, tildes, carets, and other modifications of standard type. Asterisks, primes, and small English
letter superscripts are suitable.
Footnotes. Number footnotes consecutively throughout the paper, not page by page. Type all
footnotes, double-spaced, on a separate page following the article. Footnotes should be only explanatory
and not for citations or for directing the reader to a particularwork. Such information can be incorporated
into the text.
References and citations. Place 鈥淩eferences,鈥� alphabetized by author, in a list at the end of
the paper. Only cited works may be included in the reference list and all citations should be referenced.
Journal articles should include the author name (first name initials only), article title (in quotations),
full journal name (italicized), volume number, year of publication, and page numbers. Journal names
should not be abbreviated. An example is: Mahul, O. 鈥淥ptimal Insurance against Climatic Experience.鈥�
American Journal of Agricultural Economics 83(2001):593鈥�604. All citations should contain the
author鈥檚 name, and the page number if necessary. Citations can be inserted parenthetically; e.g., (Mahul)
or (Mahul, p. 600). Specify the date of publication only if the same author appears more than once in
the reference list; e.g., (Mahul, 2001) or (Mahul, 2001, p. 600). If the author鈥檚 name appears as part
of a sentence, a parenthetical reference is unnecessary unless page numbers or a date is needed. Use
鈥渆t al.鈥� in citations only with four or more authors. Do not use et al. in the reference section. For more
information refer to the reference/citation sheet which is available upon request.
Tables and figures. Place each table and each figure on a separate page at the end of the
manuscript; double-space all material; omit vertical rules in tables. Each table and each figure must
have a title.
Page charge. Major support for this journal comes from page charges of $85 per printed page
or a fraction thereof, payable by the supporting institution or granting agency. Payment does not affect
acceptance, scheduling, or form of publication. Instructions for payment are sent with galley proofs.
Submission of Accepted Manuscripts
Submission of the final version of an accepted manuscript should follow standard AJAE submission
guidelines. In addition, the author(s) must prepare an abstract page (see below), must enclose a diskette
with the electronic version of the final manuscript (see below), and should return a completed and signed
Transfer of Copyright Form (all authors must sign).
Abstract page
The following items, in the given order, should be included in an abstract page, to be placed after the
front page and before the first page of text.
(a) Title.
(b) Author鈥檚 (s鈥�) name(s).
(c) Key words list. Give no more than eight key words in alphabetical order. Consider standard terms
used to describe your methodology, theoretical tools, or empirical results.
(d) Abstract. The abstract should not exceed 100 words. It should give a clear idea of the main
conclusions, the methods employed, and some indication of the line of reasoning. Abstracts must not
contain equations, diagrams, or footnotes, but may include numbers.
(e) Leading unnumbered footnote. Text for first unnumbered footnote gives titles and institutional
affiliation of each author, acknowledgments, and other relevant information pertaining to the accepted
manuscript.
Electronic preparation of manuscripts for publication
Medium. Submit on a 31/2-inch diskette. On the diskette label, please write (a) name of first author;
(b) manuscript number; (c) type and version of word processing software used.
Word processing. Any popular word processing software may be used.
Formatting. Do use character formatting鈥攊.e., formatting you can do on single characters or words
(bold for vectors and matrices, italic for variables, superscript, subscript), but do not use your processor鈥檚
other special features (auto footnote placement, table editors, etc.) Put footnotes and tables at the end
of the file.
Math typesetting. Use standard type to the maximum extent possible (for example, use Symbol
font for Greek characters in simple notation). Refrain from use of embellished letters (dots, bars, tildes,
carets). Run equations into text if at all possible (rather than displaying). Simplify notation to avoid
costly typesetting.
Tables. Tables are most translatable when created manually with tabs, rather than formatted with a
table editor using cells.
Figures. Figures must be presented in hard copy form at a high resolution (1200 dpi or higher).
Figures will be scanned for electronic placement in the layout. (Do not embed figure graphics in the
electronic text copy. This often causes file or disk corruption.)
