Resource Management Working Papers

The electronic Working Paper Series was started in 2004. Over time we hope to add more woring papers from previous years. Working Papers Publications are in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader. An accessible version of Acrobat Reader is available on a separate download page.

The papers in the Working Paper Series are subject to revision. We will indicate if they have been revised. We encourage faculty and students to post their research before it is completely polished and ready to be submitted to a journal, but hope to use this site as another means of soliciting suggestions to improve our work. So, please keep in mind that comments are welcome!
