Abstract: The Abstract should be a single paragraph of up to 300 words, which does not have references, and does not contain any non-essential abbreviations or acronyms. We encourage authors to follow the style of structured abstracts, but without headings: (1) Purpose: Place the research question in a broad context, and highlight the research purpose; (2) Methodology: Describe the main methods applied in the article briefly; (3) Results: Sum up the main results of the article; (4) Conclusions: Present the main conclusions or interpretations of the results; (5) Implications: Briefly explain how the findings contribute to the research question. Do not include results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text or exaggerate the main conclusions.

Keywords: Keyword 1; Keyword 2; Keyword 3… Keyword 8

(List five to eight common keywords in the subject discipline, which are specific to the article. Capitalize the first letter of the first word in each keyword.)

1. Introduction (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Title Case, Bold)

The Introduction section should place the study briefly in a broad context, and clearly define its purpose and importance, including the specific hypotheses being tested. Plus, the current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully, and supported by relevant publications. Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association (APA). The in-text citation appears within the body of the paper (or in a table, figure, or appendix) and briefly identifies the cited work by its author and date of publication. Each work cited must appear in the reference list, and each work in the reference list must be cited in the text. More details on references are available at the end of this template. Acronyms/abbreviations/initials can be used if necessary. They are spelled out at first mention but not thereafter unless there is good reason to do so. Finally, the main aim, methodology, and conclusions of the work should be summed up in a concise thesis statement. This section should be written in language that will be comprehensible to readers working outside the topic.

2. Methodology (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Title Case, Bold)

The Methodology section should be written concisely, yet provide enough details to allow others to replicate and build on published results. The well-established methods can be introduced briefly with proper citations. Do not describe these published methods in details. In contrast, detailed descriptions are required for new methods. If multiple methods are adopted in the work, this section may be divided into several subsections, each providing details on a specific method. Note that the publication of your manuscript means all materials, data, codes, and protocols associated with the publication must be made available to readers. Remember to disclose restrictions on the availability of materials or information at the submission stage. If your manuscript uses large datasets deposited in an opensource database, please specify where the data have been deposited. If your study requires ethical approval, do not forget to list the authority and code of the ethical approval.

3. Results (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Title Case, Bold)

The Results section may be divided into subsections. It should describe the results concisely and precisely, provide their interpretation, and draw possible conclusions from the results.

3.1 Style Settings (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Bold)

3.1.1 Headings

All headings must be short and clearly defined. Three levels of headings are allowed at the maximum. Level 1 headings should follow the style: Times New Roman, 10 points, bold, the first letter of each word capitalized, a line above heading and a line below. Level 2 headings should follow the style: Times New Roman, 10 points, bold, only the first letter of the first word as well as proper nouns capitalized, a line above heading and a line below. Level 3 headings should follow the style: Times New Roman, 10 points, not bold, only the first letter of the first word as well as proper nouns capitalized, a line above heading.

3.1.2 Figures and tables

Create tables using Microsoft Word embedded functions or export Microsoft Excel tables. Do not create tables by hand using multiple spaces or tabs. Figures should be as small and simple as possible, without sacrificing clarity. All figures and tables should be inserted into the main text close to their first citation, and must be numbered following their order of appearance (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.; Table 1, Table 2, etc.).

A short, explanatory caption should be placed directly below each figure. Each table must have a descriptive, short, one-line title. All the table titles and figure captions should be centered, Times New Roman font and 10 points in size, only the first letter of the first word as well as proper nouns capitalized. Add a line between the table and its title, between the figure and caption, between two tables, between two figures, between a table and a figure, and between table/ or figure and the following text.

Just capitalize the first letter of words, phrases, and sentences included in tables and figures. Reference each table and figure within the text as Table 1 or Figure 1. Ensure that the caption/title is on the same page with the figure/table.

Figure 1. A figure with no subgraph

Note: This figure was prepared by the authors

(a)	(b)

Figure 2. A figure with two subgraphs: (a) Description of the contents of the first subgraph; (b) Description of the contents of the second subgraph

Table 1. Key parameters of our model

Type of traders	Condition	Event	Behavior
Underreacting traders	ω1φ	Eφ<Eφ-1	H(E1φ+1)<Eφ
ω2φ	Eφ>Eφ-1	E(E1φ+1)>Eφ or E(E1φ+1)<Eφ
Overreacting traders	ω1φ	Eφ<Eφ-1	H(E1φ+1)>Eφ or H(E1φ+1)<Eφ
ω2φ	Eφ>Eφ-1	H(E1φ+1)<Eφ

Note: E is short for the full name of parameter XXX

Please do not use the headers or the footers because they are reserved for the technical editing by editors. If necessary, explain the concepts in a table or figure by adding a note below that table or figure.

3.1.3 Equations

You are strongly recommended to use MathType or Microsoft Equation Editor to edit equations. Equations should be editable rather than appear in a picture format. All equations should be placed and numbered consistently throughout the manuscript, and referred to in the text as Eq. (1), Eq. (2), Eqs (3)-(6), etc. A colon is inserted before an equation is presented, but there is no punctuation following the equation. The size of equation is 10 points. Remember to add a line above heading and a line below the equation. Set the equation flush left, without indenting it. Make the number of an equation flush-right. For example:

(1)

3.1.4 Theorems and proofs

Theorems should be numbered following their order of appearance (Theorem 1, Theorem 2, etc.). Lemmas and corollaries should be numbered following their order of appearance under the corresponding theorem (Lemma/Corollary 1.1, Lemma/Corollary 1.2, etc. of Theorem 1). Examples and remarks should be numbered following their order of appearance (Example 1, Example 2, etc.; Remark 1, Remark 2, etc.).

Theorem 1. Text of the theorem.

Proofs must be formatted as follows:

Proof of Theorem 1. Text of the proof. Note that “of Theorem 1” can be deleted, if it is clear which theorem is being referred to. Always end a proof with Q.E.D.

3.1.5 Physical quantities, units, and symbols

All the physical quantities and units of measurement in the paper must comply with the International System of Units (SI) and their abbreviations should be used. Wherever the application domain uses a different set of units widely, please minimize the use of non-standard units or non-standard symbols for those units. For example, “h” should be used for hours instead of “hr” and “t” instead of “ton” or “tonne”.

Please leave a regular space or non-breaking space between each value and the measurement unit. The authors are encouraged to render the numbers specifying the dot as a decimal separator, and the comma as a thousand separator, e.g., 1,000,000.

4. Discussion (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Title Case, Bold)

The Discussion section should interpret the results in perspective of previous studies and the working hypotheses, and report the research findings and implications in the broadest context possible.

5. Conclusions (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Title Case, Bold)

The Conclusions section should clarify the main conclusions of the research, highlighting its significance and relevance. The limitations of the work and the directions of future research may also be mentioned. Please contain nothing not substantiated in the main text. Do not make this section a mere repetition of the Abstract.

Author Contributions (Style: Times New Roman, 10 Points, Title Case, Bold)
