For more information on how to reference an e-book see Pearl and Shields (2019, p. 31)
Edited book chapter	Fortin, N., Lemieux, T., and Firpo, S. (2011) 鈥�'Decomposition methods in economics', in Card, D. and Krueger, A.B. (eds.)鈥�Handbook of Labor Economics.鈥�Vol. 4A. Amsterdam: North Holland, pp. 1-102.	If the authors鈥� names are included in the body of text: 鈥� Fortinet al.(2011)鈥� If citation is included at the end of a sentence: 鈥� (Fortinet al.,2011).
	Notes: For more examples see Pears and Shields (2019, pp. 33-34) Use single quotation marks around the title of the chapter, but italicize the book title When citing a text that has three or more authors you can use 鈥�et al.鈥� to shorten the citation.²However, your bibliography (reference list) should include the names of all authors. Many articles have multiple authors and the full list of authors is often needed to order the papers in correct (ascending) alphabetical order in the bibliography.³ When citing a book chapter, you cite the authors of the chapter and not the editors
Journal articles	Card, D. and Krueger, A.B. (1994) 'Minimum wages and employment: A case study of the fast food industry in New Jersey and Pennsylvania',鈥�American Economic Review, 84(4), pp. 772-793.	If the authors鈥� names are included in the body of text: 鈥� Card and Krueger (1994)鈥� If citation is included at the end of a sentence: 鈥� (Card and Krueger, 1994). If you cite more than one article in a sentence, separate them using a semi-colon: 鈥� (Card and Krueger, 1994; Fortin et al., 2011).
	Notes: For more examples see Pears and Shields (2019, pp. 39-40) See Pears and Shields (2019, p.45) for examples on how to cite conference papers published in journals The title of the article is not italicized, only the title of the journal. As with edited book chapters, the article鈥檚 title is placed inside single quotations. Do not use 鈥�&鈥� in place of 鈥榓nd鈥� Journal articles are published in-print, in-print and online, or online-only (i.e. e-journals). For journals published online, it is common to include the following information: either a DOI or 鈥楢vailable at: URL (/Accessed: date)鈥� (see examples in Pears and Shields, 2019, pp. 39-41). This is not necessary if there is an in-print version of the journal, but should technically be included for online-only e-journals As it can be difficult to know whether a journal article has been published in-print, you will not be penalized for failing to include a DOI or URL In general, DOI is preferred to URL. You will also not be penalized for including DOI or URL where it is not required This format can be used for peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journal articles
Working papers	Card, D. and Krueger, A.B. (1993)鈥疢inimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast Food Industry in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, NBER Working Paper Series No. 4509.	If the authors鈥� names are included in the body of text: 鈥� Card and Krueger (1993)鈥� If citation is included at the end of a sentence: 鈥� (Card and Krueger, 1993).
	Notes: For more examples see Pears and Shields (2019, pp. 51-52) This format is used widely for unpublished papers: working papers, discussion papers, and briefing papers. See Pears and Shields (2019, pp.44-46) for examples on how to cite conference proceedings or papers from conference proceedings The title of the paper is italicized Most working papers are distributed by a research organization, which will have a series title. For example, the NBER Working Paper series and the IZA Discussion Paper series. In this instance, the paper will be given a number (or date), which should be included in the bibliography You may choose to include a DOI or URL if the working paper has not been distributed by a research organisation
Published reports	Office of National Statistics (ONS) (2022) Public Sector Employment, UK: June 2022. ONS, statistical bulletin One can include the URL Office of National Statistics (ONS) (2022)Public Sector Employment, UK: June 2022.ONS, statistical bulletin. Available at: Public sector employment, UK -(ons.gov.uk)	If the organization鈥檚 name is included in the body of text: 鈥� ONS (2022)鈥� If citation is included at the end of a sentence: 鈥� (ONS, 2022).
	Notes: The title of the report is italicized You may introduce an acronym for the name of the organization that can then be used in the citations. It is better to use acronyms when the publishing organization is well known by that acronym. In Economics, readers will be familiar with the IMF as an acronym for the International Monetary Fund, but not WB as an acronym for the World Bank. The UN, OECD, ONS, and HMRC are other examples of commonly referenced acronyms See Pears and Shields (2019, p. 52) for examples on how to cite company reports

²Pears and Shields (2019) use et al. only when there are four or more authors. We suggest using et al. when there are three or more authors
³Pears and Shields (2019) includes examples with et al.in the reference list. The discussion on page 29 notes that the inclusion of et al. in the reference list depends on the preference of the institution. At 海角社区, we would prefer you to include all authors names in the reference list
