| Research papers |
|
IDEAS: Probably the largest database of economic research papers (both journal articles and working papers), with various rankings and cross-references SSRN: Social Science Research Network. Aiming to facilitate rapid worldwide dissemination of research JSTOR: One of the most well-known databases of journal articles. Papers enter this database a few years after their publication, so you have to search for most recent ones elsewhere. Access available at the WSE NBER: National Bureau of Economic Research working papers. A lot of stuff published there eventually appears (usually with a lag of one, two or even more years) in the leading academic journals IMF: International Monetary Fund working papers. Top-quality, timely, policy-oriented research ECB, FED, BoE, BoC, Riksbank, RBNZ: Working papers of leading central banks |
