Policies for Working Papers in Economics

Working Papers in Economics publishes the work of members of the Colby College Faculty which is consistent with the mission of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement and destined for peer review in a scholarly journal. Collaborative research across disciplines (including those in departments or programs not formally affiliated with the Center) and scholarly research by faculty with students is particularly encouraged. Works in progress that have been presented at a venue designed for comment from colleagues prior to submission for publication are appropriate for the Working Paper Series. The work will remain in the Working Paper Series after publication in a professional journal. Revisions to existing working papers will be accepted. For additional information, please contact Michael.Donihue@colby.edu .
