Working Papers

The CISR Working Paper Series is an important vehicle for dissemination of research results, faculty viewpoints, and progress reports on projects under investigation. Papers are available in several ways, depending on the date published.

Papers published since the fall of 1997 are available as PDF files on the Working Papers page.
Papers published prior to the fall of 1997 are available in hard copy from MIT Document Services at a cost of approximately $20–$30, depending on length. Document Services offers an on-line order form and also accepts orders via phone or fax. Titles and abstracts for papers published prior to the fall of 1997 have been compiled into one PDF file in order to facilitate the review process.

Questions regarding pricing, availability, and shipping options for hard copy papers should be directed to Document Services.

Research Briefings

CISR research briefings are short, sharp summaries of research projects. They are ideal for sharing key research findings and are particularly appealing to our corporate members.
