✦ Synopsis

JOURNAL OF APPLIED ECONOMETRICS DATA ARCHIVE INFORMATION FOR USERS

The Journal of Applied Econometrics Data Archive contains data sets from papers published in the Journul of Applied Econometrics. Since January, 1994, all authors have been required to provide their data in electronic form after their paper has been accepted, unless there are good reasons (such as confidentiality) for not doing so. The first issue for which data should normally be available is Volume 10, Number 1, 1995, but some data from papers in earlier volumes are available as well.

There are two ways to access the JAE Data Archive. The original, but relatively cumbersome, way is to use ftp. T o do so, you must be on a computer that is connected to the Internet and has the program ftp. At the command line, type ftp qed.econ.queensu.ca and login as user 'ftp'. Then give your real identity as a password and type cd jae to move to the main JAE Data Archive directory. After this, you will need to issue a sequence of commands to move to the desired directories and retrieve the desired files. These commands will be familiar to anyone who has used anonymous ftp. but they are not particularly intuitive. Detailed instructions were provided on pages 106-107 of Volume 9, Number 1 (January-March 1994) of the journal.

The newer, and much easier, way to access the Data Archive is to use a World Wide Web (WWW) browser, such as Mosaic, Netscape or Lynx. You must be on a computer connected to the Internet, and it must have a suitable WWW browser. Simply point your browser to
