RePEc: Research Papers in Economics

How you can use RePEc   |   RePEc information for participants   |   Major participants and activity
RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) is a collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in 63 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics. The heart of the project is a decentralized database of working papers, journal articles and software components. All RePEc material is freely available.

You may add your own materials to RePEc through a department or institutional archive -- all institutions are welcome to join and contribute their materials by establishing and maintaining their own RePEc archive. If your institution does not yet participate in RePEc, you may submit your own papers to MPRA (the Munich Personal RePEc Archive), and they will automatically be included in RePEc. RePEc does not support personal archives (only institutional archives).

RePEc collaborates with the American Economic Association's EconLit database to provide content from leading universities' working paper series to EconLit. If your university does not contribute its working paper series to RePEc, please contact us for assistance, or view the "step by step" instructions at IDEAS.

Please note that RePEc does not contain full-text journal articles. RePEc services provide links to many full text articles, but you may need a personal or institutional subscription to follow those links. If a working paper or journal article is not indicated as "downloadable", please contact the author or publisher for assistance.

The RePEc database holds over 620,000 items of interest, over 510,000 of which are available online:
250,000  working papers
366,000  journal articles
1,600  software components
4,200  book and chapter listings
17,600  author contact and publication listings
10,800  institutional contact listings
