[CoDeP] the Bentham case

[Marco LiCalzi]

Dear Thomas,

I have downloaded the 2017 Catalog for Bentham journals (attached).
There seems very little that has to do with Economics, or RePEc.

At the same time, I wonder whether it would not be a good idea to have some short statement about CoDeP on RePEc, so that if we write to someone asking for information we can point him/her to this statement.

Best, marco.
