We invite submission from all researchers whose work fits the MPPE’s Aims & Scope.
Please submit your paper to mppe@gov.tum.de or mppe@wi.tum.de after checking the author guidelines below.

Papers shall be submitted in pdf or Word format. If Latex files are submitted, please make sure that all supplemental files are included. The editors will process papers and send them to the appropriate Associate Editor for review.

Copyright and journal submissions:

Papers published as Munich Papers in Political Economy remain the intellectual property of the author, and the author retains all copyrights. The purpose of the MPPE is to be an open-access source of research. While most academic journals do allow the submission of papers that have been previously published in working paper series. Authors are advised to check the editorial policy of the journal to which they wish to submit.

Submission checklist:

Please ensure that your manuscript contains:

• Contact details (e-mail address and full postal address) for the designated corresponding author.
• A short abtract (~150 words)
• 4-6 keywords
• JEL codes

Formatting style requirements:

• Font size: 11 or 12 point
• Text: 1.5 or double-spaced
• Page layout: about 1-inch (2.54 cm) margins on all sides.
• Pages should be numbered.
• Consistent use of a standard Social Science citation style.

Further considerations:

• Manuscript should be ‘spell-checked’ and ‘grammar-checked’.
• All references mentioned in the Reference List are cited in the text, and vice versa.
• Permission has been obtained for use of copyrighted material from other sources (including the Internet).
• A competing interests statement is provided, even if the authors have no competing interests to declare.
• Inclusive language should be used throughout. Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using plural nouns as default wherever possible to avoid using “he, she,” or “he/she.”

MPPE is jointly edited by the School of Management, the Hochschule für Politik, the School of Governance, and the TUMCS for Biotechnology and Sustainability at the Technical University of Munich.
