Submission
Guidelines
Manuscripts must be prepared using Microsoft Word. The
conference accepts papers written either in English or
Malay. However, the working language for the conference
is English.
The manuscript should be typewritten singled-spaced on
one side of white A4 paper (210 x 297mm) in Times New
Roman with size 10 and each page numbered consecutively.
No header or footer is allowed. The length of manuscript
should not exceed 10 pages, inclusive of tables, illustrations,
references and appendices. The manuscript should begin
with a title page that contains the following information:
(i) Full title of the manuscript;
(ii) Names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors;
(iii) An abstract of not more than 200 words;
(iv) A maximum of five keywords;
(v) JEL classification codes;
(vi) The conference track you intend participate in; and
(vii) Full address (including email, telephone and fax)
of the corresponding author (s).
As far as possible, footnotes should be kept to minimum.
Footnotes should be numbered in Arabic numerals in serial
order throughout the manuscript. Footnotes should be placed
at the bottom of the manuscript page where the reference
to it is made.
All references, with complete bibliographic information,
are to be placed in alphabetical order, in a list at the
end of the paper entitled “References”. Only
cited works are to be included in the reference list.
All citations should appear in the text using Harvard-style
referencing, i.e., author’s name and year of publication
in parentheses, e.g., (Kwek and Yoong, 2002). If there
are more than two authors, the first author should be
cited followed by ‘et al.’. For example, (Blattman
et al., 2004). The names of all authors, however, will
appear in the reference list.
If two or more works by the same author are cited together,
the author’s name is followed by the various years
of publication arranged in chronological order, e.g.,
(Taylor, 1997, 2003). Where reference is made to more
than one work by the same author published in the same
year, identify each citation in the text by addition of
a small letter, e.g. (Baharumshah, 2002a); (Baharumshah,
2002b). When several authors are cited, they are to be
arranged in chronological order and separated by semicolons,
e.g., (Dickey and Fuller, 1981; Baum et al., 2001, Sarno,
2001; Anoruo et al., 2006). Please adhere to the following
