We explicitly compute the dualizing complex for a smooth stack over an algebraically closed field and prove that Serre duality holds for smooth compact Deligne-Mumford stacks in its usual form. We prove also that a proper Cohen-Macaulay stack has a dualizing sheaf and it is an invertible sheaf when it is Gorenstein. As an application of this general machinery we compute the dualizing sheaf of a tame nodal curve. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.1955v2
