Hi guys,
Im in search of a database or website or similar of journal articles for economics/finance, specifically related to the current financial crisis.
what im looking for is credible articles and journals related to stuff like the housing bubble, credit crunch, other causes of the financial crisis, financial regulation in the US and Australia, etc.
Does anyone know any good sites for journals related to those topics? I know that asking for people to do the assignment for me is wrong, and i am trying to do it for myself, its just that i dont know any good places to search for journal articles on these topics. so far all i find mainly is the asian financial crisis. Ive been using my university's e-resources search thing but its really hard to navigate and never ends up with any relevant articles.
thanks in advance,
john

papers.nber.org has good stuff
covers more than the economic crisis, but just search and you'll find relevant ones for sure

the economist?
EDIT: ninja-ed
|
if you want newspaper/magazine articles, then just read the wall street journal or economist
considering how long it takes to write an academic paper, there really aren't that many papers right now about the current crisis... also almost all of these journals cost money
|
are these considered 'scholarly literature' ?
|
if you attend a research university (or know someone that does) you can use the school's database with online scholarly journals.
the online databases are much easier to "search" (headlines, tags, etc) than physical hard copies of news papers and journals. Although, i've been reading The Economist for 2 years now, (weekly journals). they are pretty good for a "world view" of the financial crisis; but for specific material you are looking for, you gotta search the journals one by one (which can be daunting).

Not usually. They're both mostly done by journalists, and WSJ writers are pretty conservative, while Economist writers are liberal 30-somethings who don't have much experience with what they talk about.
You can still use newspapers/magazines and get "scholarly" material from them, but Financial Times is better than both of them usually.
The easiest way to find "scholarly research" is through databases like JSTOR, Muse or Google Scholar. At the very least, they'll give you the names of journals you should be looking at.

nber has scholarly stuff.. it's all scholarly stuff
i forgot to mention though i hope you have a subscription to it (or your uni) else you pay like $5 to see each paper --;

Yeah, Google Scholar is nice. If you are on your university's IP you'll usually be able to access stuff.
NBER also has working papers that are quite current. Hopefully you can access them through your university. Here's a link to the most recent papers; you may want to look back through the archives. Working papers are usually better at giving an idea of what people are currently working on, rather than what has been published already (publication lags are usually quite long). Here's a sampling of some recent stuff:
How the Subprime Crisis Went Global
Selective Swap Arrangements
The Credit Crisis
I'm an Econ grad student but this is definitely not my area of expertise. Hopefully this will get you pointed in the right direction=)

oh thanks alot guys, unfortunately im at home and i cant access nber yet. ill give google scholar a try soon.
im not sure if my university has subscriptions to nber, im hoping so
|
Does your uni have a proxy server? Usually they are provided so you can access academic journals from home. Another thing to try=)
