Who Can Submit

Please contact irle@berkeley.edu to find out the criteria for submission.

How to Submit a Paper

1. Make sure your paper is in an acceptable format. We can accept papers in Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (PDF).
   If you use a word-processing program other than Microsoft Word, look for an "export" or "save as" option in your program to save it as an RTF file. If you have questions, please contact irle@berkeley.edu.
2. Write an abstract for your paper. It can be any length. Please also select keywords. These are words that will help a user locate your paper through a search. You may also consult the Journal of Economic Literature and provide JEL classification numbers, if appropriate.
3. Submit the paper by emailing it to irle@berkeley.edu. Please create a cover page for your paper with the following elements: abstract keywords and JEL classifications (optional); name, affiliation (department and university), and email address for each author.
4. If you have any questions, contact irle@berkeley.edu.

Overview of the Process

After you submit your paper, we will create an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of it and publish it on the site. You will be notified by e-mail when the paper is posted.

How to Revise Your Paper

If you publish this paper or a revised version elsewhere, for example in a journal, please send the citation of the new version to irle@berkeley.edu. We will be able to inform repository users about the new version.

If you would like to post a revised version of your paper on the site, please follow the instructions in "How to Submit"; however, please specify when you submit the paper that it is a revision of a previously submitted paper.
