What are the advantages of contributing a paper to Rensselaer Working Papers in Economics?
A readily accessible online version of your paper in a formal working paper series facilitates easy reception of comments, distribution of your ideas, and citation of your paper before the long journal or book publication process is completed. Because the series is cataloged in the RePEc system you will receive far more downloads than if you just post the paper on your own website. The Department will gain from having a visible working paper series that is heavily downloaded and cited. The series is ranked by the RePEc system on the basis of abstract views, downloads, and citations, and is already achieving increasing prestige. Data on RePEc working papers will soon be included in EconLit. Department rankings based on RePEc citations are also beginning to appear.
