[RAS] Inquiry into historical author listing by institution from Repec

[Ivan Kurmanov]

The events log is a table. It dates back to October 2004.

If we select the events with class='affil' we will get roughly the
data Charles wants. It has two action values: "add" and "remove" and
the details of the event include the name and id of the institution
and it should have the user details too. At least it should be
possible to extract those.

But of course, Christian is right that the coverage is hardly complete.
