Who Can Submit

The Xlab at the University of California, Berkeley, welcomes submissions of working papers from faculty, graduate students, and associated investigators. Working papers can cover all aspects of Xlab issues: methodology, trial setup, technical issues, survey design, human subjects, etc.

If you would like to add a paper to the Xlab series or have further questions, please contact the IBER editor, iber@haas.berkeley.edu, or Professor Tek Ho, the Director of the Xlab, hoteck@haas.berkeley.edu. (Papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc) or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, with abstract, keywords, JEL Codes where applicable, and faculty affiliation and email included.)

Removal

A paper may be updated or removed from public view by sending a request to the iber@haas.berkeley.edu. However, a citation to the original version of the paper will always remain on the site.

Author Review

Authors normally have a brief interval in which to review a preliminary posting of their papers, not more than 5 days. After that stage, we will not make any changes in the paper beyond the rare error that occurs in PDF conversion.
