This is not the first time this happens: accepted papers get dropped from profiles for no apparent reason and attempts to put them back in fail. It is only when I do a updareq that items are available again for claiming. This has already happened several times for the AER. This time, it was RePEc:unu:wpaper Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

Thanks for the great service you are providing. I just wonder that one working paper of mine has "disappeared" from my profile, though it had been posted some time back. I still see the paper at RePEc but does not appear in my profile. The title of the paper is: "Finance and poverty in Ethiopia: household level analysis" with (Geda, A & Zerfu, D) provided by WIDER. Any ideas why?? I could not also add it to my profile through manual serach!
