Economics

In every research guide there are databases recommended for the topic. For interdisciplinary topics you may need to consult an additional research guide or meet with a librarian for a research consultation.

Finally, JSTOR Economics: Full-text journal articles with focus on economics literature. You can always search JSTOR generally then organize by subject. 

Keep in mind, that sometimes you can find a working paper and the final published version of an article in the same database. Compare dates to see the more recent version. Below is a selection of formal working paper series:

• Centre for Economics Policy Research Discussion Papers (CEPR)  

• BREAD

• EconPapers

• European Central Bank Working Papers

• International Monetary Fund Working Papers

• Institute of Labor Economics (IZA)

• National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
