Paper Depositories
This section provides information about sites that feature a collection of research manuscripts or working papers. Some of these are limited to a specific topic or region (the Asian Economic Crisis); others provide only papers published by an organization (IMF) or a single individual, while yet others may be much wider in scope (EconWPA). The paper depository needs to feature a significant amount of research that has distinct international or cross-cultural focus in order to qualify for inclusion.
