14th Annual International Conference

Rome, Italy

Paper Submission

Submission Deadline is January 31, 2010

We will soon have the new submission system up for you to use.

SECURITY NOTE: We are are using a secure server to protect your passwords because many people recycle their passwords for several online accounts and this prevents someone from sniffing your password and compromising some other account. We only store a hash of your password and not the password itself, so your password is secure. If you forget your password, we have a utility that will email a new password to the email account you set when you submitted your paper.

COOKIES: In order to make the paper submission system work, you must have cookies turned on for your browser. We keep track of your submission session with cookies.

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Please submit a nearly completed paper plus an abstract (or detailed abstract) and fill out the form below. The title page should include the affiliation, address, phone, and e-mail of each author. The best method of electronic submission for your paper is to upload an Adobe Acrobat® PDF file to your web page and fill in the URL for the paper on the web submission form below. You should prepare the file to include all fonts in Truetype or Adobe Type 1 format (information on creating these files is below). The American Finance Association submission instructions, copied below, are useful for creating a suitable PDF file. Failing this, you can upload a Word® file.

You may also submit a paper in MS Word, but note that Word files can have problems when the reviewer does not have the same fonts as you have. Also, they are much more cumbersome for the reviewers, since the reviewer can usually view the pdf within his or her web browser. Keeping the reviewer happy is a good policy when hoping to have your paper accepted!

PAPER PREPARATION GUIDELINES: Use the Distiller from Acrobat 4.05 or better. (If you have Macintosh System X, simply print your file to a PDF.) Select "Embed all fonts" on the Distiller "Settings/Job Options/Fonts" menu. Otherwise Acrobat may include font references in the PDF file to fonts on your computer that may not be available on our servers or other computers. This is a common difficulty with abstracts and papers that do not turn out to be legible on our website and are excessively large. You can check your output for suitability if you uncheck the "Use local fonts" option of the "View" menu of Acrobat while examining the resulting file for missing elements (especially symbols, ligatures, Greek letters, brackets, etc. but sometimes elements as common as commas). A more detailed document describing how to create portable PDF files is on the NSF website at https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/documents/pdf_create/pdfcreate_01.jsp.

Our paper submission system allows you to send a revised paper later, and to update titles and author details. If you forget your ID and password, the system can email you this information, as long as you remember the email address you used when submitting your paper.
