Griffiths, W. and Judge, G. 1992, 'Testing and Estimating Location Vectors when the Error Variance Matrix is Unknown', Journal of Econometrics, vol. 54, pp. 121-138.

Border, K. 1985, Fixed Point Theorems with Applications in Economics, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.

11. Each table and figure should be printed on a separate piece of paper. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and some indication given in the text where each one should appear.

12. Illustrations will be reproduced photographically from originals supplied by the authors; they will not be redrawn by the publisher. Please provide all illustrations in quadruplicate. Care should be taken that lettering and symbols are of comparable size. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as figures.
