Merging CRCSPP into the JOURNAL OF MONETARY ECONOMICS

Dear Reader,

This serves to inform you that the "Carnegie Rochester Conference Series on Public Policy" (ISSN 0167-2231) has been merged into the Journal of Monetary Economics (ISSN 0304-3932) as of subscription year 2002.

Issue 49.1 of the Journal of Monetary Economics was the first one in which the Carnegie Rochester Conference Series on Public Policy were printed.

The merger was decided upon after extensive discussions with the editors. It seemed a natural development viewing the complementary nature of the journals and the existing large overlap within the editorial organisations. The merger of the two journals was intended to serve the interests of authors and readers enabling a wider visibility of the papers previously published in CRCSPP and easier retrieval through the Journal of Monetary Economics and other electronic publishing efforts such as ScienceDirect.
