Discussion Papers

The purpose of the Discussion Papers series is to publish complete papers that report (even partial or initial) results from a research project (broadly defined). It is designed to be a fast-track procedure to allow authors to have some property rights on their research output and send the paper out for comments. The ultimate goal is that after incorporating comments received on the DP, he/she submits the paper to the CERGE-EI Working Papers Series.

Note that CERGE-EI Discussion Papers are neither checked from the point of view of language nor do they receive any copy editing or any critical refereeing. They are distributed in a limited number of copies within CERGE-EI and to a selected number of external collaborators, who are dealing with similar problems.

As Discussion Papers are intended for internal distribution, there is no formal distribution mechanism for those outside of the CERGE-EI community. If you are interested in obtaining copies of Discussion Papers, please contact the authors of the papers themselves. Contact information for the authors, when available, is contained in the Discussion Paper lists. Copies are available for perusal in the CERGE-EI Library. Readers are asked to keep in mind the highly preliminary state of the research contained in most of the papers.
