Submission of a paper will imply that it is original work and that a significant part of it has not already been published elsewhere. By submitting a manuscript the authors agree that the copyright for their work is transferred to AJEE.

Materials submitted for publication to AJEE will be reviewed through a double-blind refereeing process.

The contents of the papers published shall be the responsibility of the authors and not of the editors or publishers. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically and in triplicate hard copy to The Editors, Australasian Journal of Economics Education, School of Economics, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia 4072.

The manuscript should be typed on one side of A4 paper (21 cm x 29.7 cm) double spaced throughout with 4 cm margins. Papers must be divided into headed sections. Main section headings should be numbered in Arabic numerals and typed in block capitals placed against the left margin. Sub-sections should be typed with initial capitals and highlighted. Further levels of sub-headings should be avoided. Texts following sections/sub-sections should begin on a new line (not indented). All subsequent paragraphs in that section should be indented by four spaces.

The Australasian Journal of Economics Education does not specify any strict word-limit but papers should not normally exceed 6, 000 words.

The editors prefer to receive electronic copy of the article by email in Microsoft WORD format. But diskette copies are acceptable. Email your paper (including figures and tables) to:

m.alauddin@economics.uq.edu.au or a.duhs@economics.uq.edu.au.

The cover page of the manuscript must contain the full title, name(s), and address(es) of the author(s); full postal address, telephone and fax numbers and email address of the author to whom proofs and other communications should be sent. The cover page must contain an abstract not exceeding 150 words. The authors should also identify not more than seven key words or phrases for indexing the article.

The introduction, conclusion and abstract should be written for the non-specialist. Lengthy mathematical presentations should, whenever possible, be located in appendices. Articles will not usually be published if they are minor variations of existing analyses or of interest only to very small and specialised audiences, or if they are mainly descriptive.

Mathematical notations should be kept to the minimum. The authors should use only essential notations and as far as possible use Times New Roman 12. Equation numbers should be in Arabic numerals and placed flush on the first line of the equation. Equations should be numbered consecutively throughout the manuscript.

Tables and Figures should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals. They should not be placed in the main body of the manuscript. They should be provided on separate sheets and placed at the end of the manuscript. Tables and Figures should be centred, and numbered and titled in bold capitals.

Acknowledgements should appear at the end of the main text and before the references.

Any appendices should appear before the References.

Footnotes should be numbered consecutively in the text and placed on a separate sheet of the manuscript. Any footnote attached to the main heading should be designated by an asterisk.

References follow the author-date Harvard style. References in the text should give the author’s surname, year of publication and page number if a direct quote is included. References should be listed alphabetically after the text. Journal and book titles should be written in full. Some examples are:
