Downloads from the SSRN eLibrary are running at an annual rate of more than 4.2 million, with approximately 18.6 million downloads since inception.

SSRN's Professional Directory
Searching on an individual's name in the author field on our search page at http://papers.ssrn.com provides the best single professional directory of scholars in accounting, economics, finance, law, and management. Complete contact information for authors, including email, postal, telephone, and fax information, is available there.

SSRN's Download Policy
SSRN provides worldwide free access to all papers included in all of our institutional Research Paper Series and all other papers uploaded to the eLibrary directly by an author.

SSRN'S Mission
SSRN's objective is to provide rapid, worldwide distribution of research to authors and their readers and to facilitate communication among them at the lowest possible cost. In pursuit of this objective, we allow authors to upload papers without charge. And, any paper an author uploads to SSRN is downloadable for free, worldwide.

SSRN reinvests all of the net cash it receives (principally from subscriptions to our abstracting journals and from institutions that use us to distribute their research papers), after servicing debt, to enhance our services to authors and users. SSRN's shareholders have not received any return on their investment, including dividends. To minimize potential conflicts with authors and users, SSRN has no outside investors.

Other Economics Research Network Journals
The Economic Research Network (ERN) also publishes other email abstracting journals. You can subscribe to these journals through the SSRN User HeadQuarters at http://hq.ssrn.com.

Sincerely,

Martin Feldstein and Michael C. Jensen, Directors
Economics Research Network
