New Economics Papers on Social Norms & Social Capital

NEP (New Economics Papers) is a service of free notification of new downloadable working papers for over 40 specific fields.
The goal is to provide subscribers with up-to-date information to the research literature: subscribing, you will receive a weekly e-mail report containing informations (i.e., title, authors, abstract and link to the full text) on new papers on social capital and related topics.

• To receive the reports, a free subscription is required at the address: http://lists.repec.org/mailman/listinfo/nep-soc.

NEP report service was created as part of the RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) project, a collaborative effort of over 100 volunteers in 44 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics. The heart of the project is a decentralized database containing information on more than 300,000 items:

• 6,200 individual professionals (their contact information and associated publications)
• 8,200 institutions (economics departments, research institutes, and governmental organizations)
• bibliographic information on 154,000 working papers published by institutions and individuals
• bibliographic citations for 158,000 articles from the leading journals in economics
• bibliographic citations for 900 books and chapters
• 1,700 software descriptions and programs

RePEc's capabilities are unique in this regard: the RePEc database links information on the published and unpublished works of thousands of economists. RePEc promotes scholarly communication by providing a database that welcomes all providers of unpublished materials (working papers, discussion papers, research reports, conference papers) and publishers of journals (including scholarly societies, commercial and non-commercial publishers) to place their bibliographic information in the public domain.
RePEc now collaborates with the American Economic Association's EconLit database to provide content from leading universities' working paper series to EconLit.

RePEc emerged from the NetEc group, which received support for its WoPEc project between 1996-1999 by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils, as part of its Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib).

Founded in 1993, NetEc is an international academic effort to improve the communication of Economics via electronic media. It consists of:

• Information on printed working papers on BibEc,
• Data about electronic working papers on WoPEc,
• World Wide Web resources in Economics on WebEc,
• Jokes about economists and economics on JokEc.

NetEc servers are located at the Department of Economics of Washington University in St. Louis, at Manchester Computing and at Hitotsubashi University of Tokyo.
