FAQ

EconApex is a website managed by a non-profit association called OpenAPaper. The aim of this association is to detail research in economics and management in order to make it easier to use, understand and reproductible. It enables authors of scientific articles to post data and codes associated with their publications on the EconApex website. It also enables all researchers to post on EconApex an appendix of the mathematical reasoning contained in any scientific article.

The association is funded by research centers and universities.
