The types of text published in Prague Economic Papers are articles, discussion or polemical articles, consultations, survey articles, reviews or annotations.

The journal deals with the subjects of economic theory, modelling and analysis, problems of economic and social development of Czech Republic and other economics. It presents information about scientific life and new interesting economic literature published in the Czech Republic and in other countries. It is intended for the English speaking professionals both in CR and abroad.

It is assumed that the paper submitted for publication has not been submitted elsewhere yet and will not be submitted to any other publisher without the publisher’s approval.

The content of papers is reviewed anonymously by a team of referees and discussed by the executive board of the journal; the author(s) will be informed about their decision in written. If the paper is not accepted for publication, the editorial office is authorized to keep the hard copy. The claim to the publication of the paper is not legally enforceable.

Papers are submitted in English in one hard copy and in the identical electronic form in doc or docx format (by e-mail to the address: papers@vse.cz or on a data carrier). The hard copy should be signed by the author who will confirm in this way that he/she transfers free of charge to the publisher the copyright to the manuscript publication in printed and electronic form (pdf format) and that the paper is an outcome of his/her own creative activity and that there are no other holders of the copyright to this paper.

The recommended length of articles is about 20 standard pages, i.e. maximally 40.000 characters including spaces and footnotes, reviews should have 4-6 standard pages (up to 10.000 characters) and annotations 1-2 pages (up to 3.500 characters).

The pages of the manuscript should be numbered. Please, write the footnotes at the bottom of a page and number them consecutively. Number the figures and graphs and include them in the text of the paper; if they are presented on separate sheets of paper, please indicate their placement within the paper. Remember that the included coloured figures and graphs will be printed in black and white; consider whether they will not lose their lucidity. The equations and tables must be uniformly formatted. References should contain only the first item of the cited document (usually the author’s surname) and the year of its publication – e.g. Samuelson (1989); if a citation is included, indicate the respective page. Any less frequent concepts and abbreviations should be explained in the text. The manuscript should be formatted according to the standard MS Word Template.

At the end of the manuscript a list of references in alphabetical order according to the standard References specimen, the abstract (ca. 150 words), (6-8) keywords and JEL classification
(www.aeaweb.org/journal/jel_class_system.html) have to be included. Any manuscript which will not conform to those requirements will be returned to the author/s.

On a separate sheet of paper the author delivers to the editorial office his/her full name with titles and academic degrees, exact name and address of the institution, phone number and e-mail address. These data are for use of the editorial office only and will neither be published nor provided to the third party.

The authors should send the author's-proofs to the editorial office within four days; no amendments that would change the length of the manuscript are permissible.
