The SPRU Electronic Working Paper Series aims to accelerate the public availability of the research undertaken by SPRU-associated people of all categories, and exceptionally, other research that is of considerable interest within SPRU. It presents research results that in whole or part are suitable for submission to a refereed journal, to a sponsor, to a major conference or to the editor of a book. Our intention is to provide a way for our friends and colleagues to receive early copies of SPRU research that is beginning the (increasingly long) journey to journal and book publication.
We shall be grateful if the papers are referenced in the usual way. Each paper contains information with regard to appropriate citation and users are advised that these 'pre-publication' versions are subject to alterations in the refereeing process. We shall also be grateful for feedback from users.
There is a short abstract for each paper and the complete papers are available to download as Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (pdf) files. You can download the Acrobat reader from Adobe for free.
Disclaimer: The works available here are the responsibility of the individual author or authors and do not necessarily represent the views of other SPRU researchers. As matters of policy and practice, SPRU does not endorse individual research contributions.
