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!

template-type: ReDIF-Paper 1.0 Title: Assessing the Aid Allocation and Debt Sustainability Framework: Working Towards Incentive Compatible Aid Contracts Creation-Date: 2007 Number: UNU-WIDER Research Paper RP2007/33 Length: 28 pages Keywords: foreign aid, economic development, aid allocation, debt sustainability File-URL: http://www.wider.unu.edu/stc/repec/pdfs/rp2007/rp2007-33.pdf Handle: RePEc:unu:wpaper:RP2007-33 Abstract: This paper criticizes the current International Development Association (IDA) aid allocation and debt sustainability framework on the grounds of their over-reliance on the country policy and institutional assessment (CPIA) as the guiding criterion. It argues that CPIA-centred allocation of aid fails to introduce an incentives structure supportive of a genuine donor-recipient partnership, conducive to development. Further, it claims that the CPIA-dependent debt thresholds-central to the new debt sustainability framework-effectively submit sustainability concerns to the policy performance prerogatives of the aid allocation system. Resting on a thin empirical basis, such approach fails to take due account of low-income countries' vulnerability to exogenous shocks, as a key determinant of debt distress. As an alternative to the current CPIA-based scheme, the paper outlines the key features of a state-contingent mechanism, guiding both aid allocation and debt sustainability analysis.
Error (line 462): Required attribute 'author-name' is absent in template of type 'redif-paper 1.0' file ./wpaper6.rdf: OK (165) I doubt the problem is there. But it could be that, for example, they change a handle, but the file date is not changed, and the file size is not changed, and the update is not often enough despite this. Here is a significant change I made in # # RePEc: /home/aras/acis/bin/updareq RePEc / 31556926 # ACIS userdata: /home/aras/acis/bin/updareq ACIS / 31556926 # citec: /home/aras/acis/bin/updareq citec / 31556926 31556926 is, roughly the number of seconds in a year. Ivan had this set to the number of secords in a week, meaning that nebka's rid crawled through the entire RePEc once a week, a considerable load on the machine. So I reduced this to once a year, a drastic reduction. I made that change at the time we had the i/o problem that was due to a broken disk and that you claimed came from overusing the disk. Maybe these numbers should be set to once a month. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel skype: thomaskrichel

That should solve the issue if it is the same problem as on my checking for new stuff. I have a database with checksums for rdf files, and if a file disappears and reappears, then it will not notice that it is back. But everyfile gets checked once a month just in case. But that would not have explained what happened with the AER. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
