IMF Staff Papers is open to outside submissions. The papers selected for publication in the journal are subject to an extensive review process using both internal and external referees. IMF Staff Papers also welcomes outside comments, criticisms, and interesting replications of published work. The views presented in published papers are those of the authors and should not be attributed to or reported as reflecting the position of the IMF, its Executive Board, or any other organization mentioned herein. In addition to three regular issues, each Volume of IMF Staff Papers features a Special Issue dedicated to papers presented at special conferences. To facilitate electronic storage and retrieval of bibliographic data, IMF Staff Papers has adopted the subject classification scheme developed by the Journal of Economic Literature.
