Intertemporal Discounting and Policy Selection
by Juan Carlos Conesa and Carlos Garriga pp. 165-180
The choice of the intertemporal discount rate affects the measurement of the tax burden of different age
cohorts. Small changes in the discount rate affect not only the magnitude of the measured changes, but
also the ranking of policies using that metric...

The Review is a bimonthly economics journal published by the Research Division of the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis. It has been published in its current form continuously since the 1960s
and is free of charge. The issues are printed and mailed to approximately 16,000 subscribers, and
our website contains the latest issue and a searchable archive of past issues.
The Review offers a wide range of content: Some articles are accessible enough for the
undergraduate, whereas others are highly technical analyses aimed at the PhD economist.
Submissions:
The content of the Review is produced primarily by economists at the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis. However, submissions are also open to all economists affiliated with the Federal
Reserve System, which includes the 12 regional Reserve Banks and the Board of Governors.
All manuscripts submitted to the Review go through our standard peer-review process—that is,
they are read and critiqued by two referees and the editor-in-chief. Accepted papers are then
copyedited and processed for publication. Authors approve or amend all substantive edits and
have the opportunity to review page proofs before publication.
It is expected that all authors published in the Review will serve as referee for two submitted
papers.
One of the benefits of the Review is its quick publication schedule. Delays between acceptance
and publication are rare. Papers accepted in January, for example, could easily be published
in the May/June issue, which is posted online on May 1. In turn, authors are expected to be as
timely as possible in response to copyeditor queries and page proof review.
Guidelines:
We prefer to receive MS Word files, but we can translate papers submitted in Scientific
Workplace, LaTeX, etc. and then thoroughly cross-check them to ensure the accuracy of the text
and equations.
We prefer to receive figures submitted as Excel or postscript files, but almost any original figure
file can be accommodated. (Figures embedded in Word, PDF files, or PowerPoint slides seldom
work well.)
There are no restrictions on the length of submitted papers; we leave that to the author’s good
judgment. There are also no restrictions on the topic, and the usual disclaimers apply: “The
views expressed in this article are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the
views of the Federal Reserve System, the Board of Governors, or the regional Federal Reserve
Banks...”
Work submitted to the Review may not be simultaneously submitted to other publications. Work
published in the Review may be reprinted with the proper citation and copyright notice.
