The Econometrics of Multi-dimensional Panels - Theory and Applications
2nd Re-edited, Revised and Enhanced Edition

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS


Typesetting: The book will be produced in Overleaf. Each chapter has an assigned direcrory, then the volume will be compiled together. Please use your Overleaf directory, LaTeX and the macro provided by the publisher.
For your help you can find here a sample chapter (Chapter 1, 1st ED): pdf, Latex; and the corresponding bib file. Also, have a look at Chapter 12 (revised, 2nd ED) pdf, Latex and the way indexing is done. Please use the template pre-loaded in your directory (set the compiler to TeX Live version 2021 - You will find this by clicking on the Menu word).
Vis-a-vis the first edition, what you will have to change is the way citation are made in the chapter, the cite commands have changed (see, Apacite instructions, p.12). Also, when I citation is made within parenthesis use the appropriate ...NP instruction (to avoid douple parentheses).
The main reason of the LaTeX macro changes is that now a full e.book version is produced as well, a pdf file, where most of the links are clickable (try a citation or a reference to a formula in the Chapter 1 example).

Language: You can use English or American spelling, but it must be consistent within a chapter.

Other minor issues:

  • Quotation marks: Please use double quotation marks (``...'') when directly citing somebody, otherwise use a single one.
  • Use of abbreviation: other than the obvious ones, please define them when first used.
  • A Chapter has Sections (1.2, 1.2.3, etc. are all Sections) and no sub-chapters or parts.
  • When making direct reference to a web-site (e.g., www.xxx.zzz... or htpps:....) it should be dealt with as a reference: the address should be in the reference list.
  • You can use plural or singular after the word data, but please be consistent within a chapter.
  • Please use i.e., instead of i.e. and similarly e.g., instead of e.g.
  • About indexing (words, expression, etc that you would like to be featured in the book's Index): Please use the LaTeX command \index{...} . For example like: The \index{pooled local linear estimator} pooled local linear estimator of....
