Sources of Economics Papers

RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) is a collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in 53 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. The RePEc database holds over 362,000 items of interest, over 261,000 of which are available online.

NEP: New Economics Papers is an announcement service which filters information on new additions to RePEc into edited reports. The goal is to provide subscribers with up-to-date information to the research literature. As of 1 January 2006, there were 39,436 subscriptions from 16,782 unique addresses distributed throughout the world. The reports are generated by subject-specific editors.
