Announcement: Announcing the Expansion of ERPN

Announcing the Expansion of ERPN
The Social Science Research Network is pleased to announce the
continued sponsorship of the Entrepreneurship Research & Policy
Network (ERPN) and several new series.

In a little more than a year, ERPN has grown to over 3300 papers that
have been downloaded approximately 413,000 times. It is sponsored by
the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation http://www.kauffman.org/research
and provides an online community for entrepreneurship research from
all academic disciplines and the users of that information. We are
very pleased to continue working with the Kauffman Foundation and
they have graciously agreed to provide a second year of free ERPN
subscriptions to U.S. universities and not-for-profit institutions.

The list of institutions currently receiving free subscriptions is
available at:

SSRN'S MISSION
SSRN's objective is to provide rapid, worldwide distribution of

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.
