The National Bureau of Economic Research (discussed in the
September 22, 1995 Scout Report) has recently begun to make its working papers available via the Internet. Papers are available from September 1994 on in either Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format (scanned page images--print quality varies), or page images at various resolutions. Note that there can be a delay between the time of publication and availability. Papers can be accessed via Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) classification, any of seventeen NBER topical programs, or a search interface. During this "test period" (ending in Summer 1998), papers are free to subscribers to the print series and everyone else except residents of countries that are members of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development--as of 1991) or OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries). Note that interested users must have reverse name lookup enabled on their network.
