Working Papers and Publications

Working papers are publications written by M-POWER researchers. Many have already appeared in peer-reviewed literature.  Working papers that have been published maintain their working paper series number even if the final public year changes. In early 2007 there were some changes made to series numbers and contents of this list. Some papers here may appear on series lists of particular organizations, for example, USER.

Unpublished working papers are generally available from authors on request. Some working papers are available for immediate download on this web page. See  "Public Documents" after the list of working papers.
