AEAweb: EconLit

EconLit EconLit is the American Economic Association's electronic bibliography of economic literature. EconLit adheres to the high quality standards long recognized by subscribers to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) and is a reliable source of citations and abstracts to economics research going back to 1969. EconLit is an expanded version of the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) indexes of journals, books, and dissertations. In addition, EconLit includes citations to articles in collective volumes indexed in the annual volumes of the Index of Economic Articles, articles from over 250 journals not indexed in JEL, and the full-text of JEL book reviews. EconLit also incorporates the Abstracts of Working Papers in Economics (AWPE) database licensed from Cambridge University Press. The EconLit web site provides helpful information about EconLit, including a description of document types indexed on EconLit and hints for searching the EconLit bibliography. Another feature of this site is the list of journals indexed in EconLit - complete with links to publishers' web pages, where abstracts and even full-texts of articles are becoming increasingly available. Citations and abstracts for current articles from the full list of journals indexed on EconLit are now included quarterly in the Journal of Economic Literature - Electronic edition (e-JEL), now available to American Economic Association members. These pages contain the full list of Subject Descriptors and descriptor codes used in the EconLit bibliography with links to the comparable subject headings in the JEL Classification System. Access to EconLit is provided through libraries and university network systems throughout the world. Libraries and individuals may contact information services directly to obtain information about dial-up online, internet, and CD-ROM delivery options. In addition, American Economic Association members may subscribe to EconLit-AEA, a personal CD-ROM version of EconLit. Information is updated monthly.
