[RePEc-announce] RePEc in May 2006

[Christian Zimmermann]

Hello all,

the big news in May is that we have now over 10000 authors registered with 
RePEc. To put this in perspective, the AEA has 18000 members, not all of 
them authors. But not all authors are members of the AEA. Over 40% of all 
works listed on RePEc have now been claimed by a registered author, and 
close to two thirds of the top 1000 authors in the profession are 
registered, see http://ideas.repec.org/coupe.html.

In other regular news, we had 516,651 file downloads and 2,245,295 
abstract views over the month.

10000000 downloads through IDEAS
