IDEAS is a service providing information about working papers and published research to the economics profession. IDEAS stands for "Internet Documents in Economics Access Service", which is not very good English, but you get the idea... The bibliographic data available here are contributed at no charge by volunteers and made available freely.

This service uses the complete data from the RePEc database, which includes bibliographic data contributed by over 1400 archives, including many of the major research outlets and publishers.

IDEAS is run with considerable help from others by Christian Zimmermann at the Economic Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, which runs and hosts this server. IDEAS uses the RePEc database. RePEc stands for "Research Papers in Economics" and is an internal name for a group working on the provision of electronic working papers. We are concerned that the uncoordinated provision of archives is inefficient. We believe that joining forces is a good thing because we can learn from each other how to do things better and promote our work together. Our archives are interconnected using a set of rules called the Guildford protocol (GuilP). Here is what we call a service, a server mirroring the database built from these archives.

Comments about IDEAS to Christian Zimmermann. For questions about specific papers or series, ask the authors or the relevant institutions. For an extensive list of economics institutions on the Web, see EDIRC. The usual copyright laws apply to all the content of this site and the texts on other servers.
