Hello all, We have good grounds to celebrate today! First, there are now half a million works listed in RePEc. This happened on September 1st, so this is not listed in the reached thresholds below. Second, we have now recorded over 25 million downloads through RePEc. And third, IDEAS is now 10 years old. August is usually a lull, for example when looking at traffic on our websites (472,050 file downloads and 1,674,553 abstract views during the month), but we have made great strides in terms of content, see below. A new feature has been added as well on IDEAS: it is now possible to create reading lists, see http://ideas.repec.org/k/. And now our regular feature, the thresholds passed: 25000000 cumulative downloads 275000 articles listed 225000 online articles listed 220000 papers listed 160000 papers with abstracts 150000 items with citations 110000 items with references 90000 papers with references 70000 papers with citations 25000 articles with references 80000 articles with citations 2600 series and journals Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
