NBER working papers have developed a well-deserved reputation for
quality and originality. Last year, there were more than 2 million
downloads of our WPs.
         We put substantial effort and expense into maintaining this
distribution.

Because of this, I want to remind you of the rule that papers
submitted to the NBER WP series should not appear in other
series. There are 3 exceptions to this rule:

         - personal home pages
         - the website of your own university department
         - the website of other organizations when you have a
co-author affiliated with that organization

Papers submitted to the NBER automatically appear in the SSRN
series. Therefore please do not submit papers directly to SSRN in
addition to submitting them to the NBER.

Thanks very much.
