Working Paper Submission Guidelines

Submitting a Paper to the CID Working Paper Series

CID has a working paper series for faculty members and a separate series for graduate students and research fellows.

For faculty: The CID Working Paper Series

The CID Working Paper Series welcomes submissions from Harvard faculty and researchers (with faculty approval) on relevant topics in international development. Papers should be emailed as either PDF or Microsoft Word files to cid@hks.harvard.edu. Please include an abstract, subject keywords, Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) subject codes, and author contact information. Unless the author requests otherwise, all CID Working Papers from full-time HKS faculty will automatically be submitted to the HKS Working Paper series.

For graduate students and research fellows: The CID Graduate Student and Research Fellow Working Paper Series

All Harvard graduate students and research fellows affiliated with CID are invited to submit their papers on international development, with prior approval from a CID faculty associate. (Alumni students and fellows may submit papers for consideration so long as the papers are based on research conducted while affiliated with CID.) Papers should be job-talk papers and/or papers accepted for presentation at competitive conferences. Please do not submit drafts of dissertation chapters as they are written, unless they satisfy these other criteria. Papers should be emailed as either PDF or Microsoft Word files to cid@hks.harvard.edu. Make sure to include the following information:

  • Your name and contact information
  • Graduate program in which you are enrolled (school, program, year) or CID program/faculty with whom are you are affiliated
  • Name of Harvard faculty member who approved your paper
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) subject codes
