Economics Indexes
Caveats/Comments:
- This page lists searchable
resources that index publications and data in economics. Emphasis
is placed on sites that index a broad range of information. Sites
listed on the
Data and Text Resources
page also contain data and publications
that must be browsed for, or have limited searchability.
- The
icon indicates sources that are definitely worth a look.
- For more extensive links from a
business perspective (accounting, finance, company research,
etc.), consult the
Business
Research Guide.
- Government publications are often a rich source for
economic data and analysis. Check the
Government
Information Resources page for more coverage.

To locate electronic journals in economics and business,
use Bel
Jour (Business and Economics Locator for JOUrnals at
Rutgers). Bel Jour
is a searchable index to online full-text journals in business
and economics. You can also use Bel Jour to locate
descriptive information about a journal, such as dates of online
coverage, and indexing and citation information. The current
edition of Bel Jour is not being actively maintained, so
some links may not work correctly. A revised version of Bel
Jour is under development. Bel Jour does not index
individual articles. Use EconLit or Business Source
Premier to locate relevant articles first.

Working papers report research findings well in advance of
formal publication. Working papers are published by research
organizations such as the NBER and CEPR, as well as by academic
departments and nongovernmental organizations. The links below
