Economics Working Paper Archive (econ-wp)

This electronic archive of working papers in economics is run by Bob Parks and Larry Blume, with support from the Economics Department of Washington University in St. Louis. It uses software developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where literally thousands of working papers in physics are stored. This archive is best accessed through the web, although email, gopher, and ftp access is possible as well. Papers are grouped in 22 subject areas with abstracts and different methods of searching for papers are available. In addition, there are areas for datasets and computer programs. Papers may be submitted in any format via email and binary files can be submitted via ftp. If you have a properly configured web client (such as Mosaic) or even a properly configured gopher (such as Hgopher for Windows), most of the papers can be viewed fully formatted online. Both PostScript and Adobe Acrobat formats are available. The web server also has entries for other PostScript papers which are available on the Net.

The parent gopher, the gopher of the Economics Department of Washington University at St. Louis, contains a wealth of interesting material. It is the next to last entry on econ-wp's menu.
