Submit a PDF file of your manuscript at http://editorialexpress.com/jmcb or as an email attachment to jmcb@econ.ohio-state.edu. Make sure that your mathematics have come through the distilling process intact. All other file types of manuscripts must be as an email attachment.
The submission fees are $100 for subscribers and $150 for nonsubscribers. If you wish to pay using MasterCard or Visa, please send your card number, exact name on card, and expiration date by email, fax (614-247-7814), or call the office (614-292-7834).

Hardcopy Submissions
If electronic submission is difficult, you may submit your manuscript as a hardcopy to the above postal address. The submission fees for hardcopy submissions are $110 for subscribers and $160 for nonsubscribers.
All books for review should be sent to the editors at the
address above.
Payments to Referees
In October 2001, the JMCB increased its payments to referees to $80 or a one year subscription for reports received within one month and $25 for those received within two months. We are also shifting to email and the internet as much as possible. These actions should significantly speed up our editorial process. Our higher costs, however, require higher submission fees. We hope that most authors will regard these changes to Internet services as an improvement.
Article Format Instructions
Papers must be in English, must contain original unpublished work, must not be under consideration
for publication elsewhere, and should not exceed 50 pages in overall length.
Authors should not submit papers previously published or forthcoming in books
with ISBN codes.
Manuscripts should be typewritten, double-spaced, on one
side only of white bond paper 8 1/2 x 11 inches in size, with margins at least 1

summarize the main points of the paper in no
more than 100 words. Authors must supply their
professional title, department, and the name of the institutions with which they
are affiliated on both the title page and the abstract.
Upon acceptance, contributors will be asked to supply an electronic version of their manuscript in a wordprocessing file format saved in Word, WordPerfect, Scientific Word, or Latex format, and must also provide a .pdf file. Authors should also submit an ASCII text file of their data.
Literature Cited
All works cited should be listed separately by author in
a double-spaced list at the end of the manuscript. Examples:

Order of references:
One author alphabetic, then chronologic, then a, b, etc. if same year.
Two author alphabetic on first author, then alphabetic on second author, then chronologic, then a, b, etc. if same year.
Continue same pattern for three or more authors.
No dashes for series of entries for same author(s).
References to the literature in the text and footnotes
should be made by means of the last name(s) of the author(s) followed by the
year of publication enclosed in parentheses, without punctuation: Barro (1981).
When a particular page, section, or equation is referred to, the references
should also be placed within parentheses: (Box and Jenkins 1976, p. 361),
(Hopewell and Kaufman 1974a, eq. 3).
Footnotes
Footnotes should not be used for the purpose of citation.
Mathematics
Equations must be typed and important displayed equations
identified by consecutive arabic numbers in parentheses on the right.
Expressions should be aligned and compound subscripts and superscripts clearly
marked if there is any potential for confusion. Handwritten symbols should be
identified in the margin the first time they appear. Equations should not be
unnecessarily numerous or complex. A slash (/) should be used to separate the
numerator and denominator of all in-text fractions and short displayed
fractions. Multiple dots and bars over expressions should be avoided where
primes can be used. Indicate boldface characters by drawing a wavy line (~)
under them; a single underline (a) means italic to a printer.
Illustrations
Illustrations submitted with the final draft must be of
professional quality, ready for reproduction, executed on white paper,
in black ink, with clear, medium weight, black lines and figures. Typewritten lettering should not appear in illustrations. They should be numbered consecutively. All illustrations must have captions.
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively throughout the
article and typed on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. Each table
must include a descriptive title and headings to columns. Gather general
footnotes to tables as "Note:" or "Notes:", and use a, b, c, etc., for specific
footnotes. Asterisks * and/or ** indicate significance at the 5 percent and 1
percent levels, respectively, if used.
Copyrighted Material
Permission to reprint any previously published material
(e.g., tables, illustrations, text extracts) must be obtained by the author from
the copyright holder and copies of the grants of permission must be submitted to
the editors with the final draft of the manuscript.
