EconLit Now Has Economics Articles Published since 1886! EconLit: Your Source of Worldwide Economic Research The American Economic Association (AEA) has created EconLit records for journal articles indexed in Volumes 1–10 of the AEA's Index of Economic Articles. Many of these journals are now available in full text and may be linked to from EconLit if they are part of a library's holdings. The EconLit records include complete bibliographic citations, subject descriptors and subject codes from the AEA's 1961–1968 classi cation system, geographic and regional descriptors, and named historical persons. EconLit is adding records for articles from 1886–1968 collective works (edited volumes, conference proceedings, etc.). We will also match abstracts from the Journal of Economic Abstracts (1963- 1968) and from the Journal of Economic Literature (1969–1986) to journal records. The older records will become part of EconLit subscriptions at no extra cost. For more information contact [email protected].
