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 to send the papers out for comments. The ultimate goal is that after incorporating comments received on the DP, s/he will submit the paper to the CERGE-EI Working Papers Series.

Note that CERGE-EI Discussion Papers are not edited for language and do not receive copy editing or critical refereeing. They are distributed in a limited number of copies within CERGE-EI and to a selected number of external collaborators, who are working with similar topics.

As Discussion Papers are intended for internal distribution, there is no formal distribution mechanism for them 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.
