The search queries can be conducted in order to retrieve names of authors and their list of publications stored in our database. See here how to get material listed. Through our steady contact to the economics community we are aware that interested researchers rely on up to date information in order to contact authors or find information about an author's workplace, homepage etc. The HoPEc Registration service targets these needs by providing a web based interface where any economist is welcome to register in order to provide this information. Please read the section Registration Process to find out more about it.
Many documents are freely downloadable.
HoPEc collects information about persons involved in the creation process of these documents. Each person can then be uniquely addressed in the RePEc database. Practically this means that authors register using the HoPEc service and create associations from their personal information to the documents they wrote. You can find the link to register below. Note that unregistered authors are also in the database, but one person may show up with different spellings and at different places.
