History of The Schwartz Center Working Papers

In November 2001, The Schwartz Center merged its three working paper series and introduced a new numbering scheme, using the year of publication. The three former working paper series were:

  • Series I: Working Papers on Globalization, Labor Markets, and Social Policy, initiated in the fall of 1996 and based on projects funded by the MacArthur Foundation and the United Nations.
  • Series II: Working Papers on Economic Policy Analysis, initiated in the fall of 1996.
  • Series III: Working Papers on International Capital Markets and the Future of Economic Policy, initiated in June 1998 and based on a project funded by the Ford Foundation.

For all papers published before November 2001, the old series and working paper number are listed in brackets following the title and date of publication. You can also view a complete list of all papers published before November 2001, showing the old series and working paper number, as well as the new number.
