The “For More Information” section of your article is used to list any articles you cited in the text. You may also list any works you did not cite specifically but that might provide more information for an interested reader.
Do not place references in a text box.
Each reference should be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced, half-inch hanging indent, ragged right.
In general, references should follow the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE) style (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/AJAE%20Author%20Checklist%20Revised%20March%202020-1590686228903.pdf).
Wherever possible, reference items must include a DOI.
List all references starting on a separate page at the end of your manuscript, alphabetized by authors’ last names, in a section titled “For More Information.” If more than one reference has identical authors, list them chronologically, beginning with the earliest date.
When citing works in the text, use et al. only when a work has four or more authors. Do not use et al. in the reference section.
For journal articles, include the issue number or month (see below) for journals that do not number pages consecutively throughout a volume (e.g., Journal of Economic Perspectives).
