[Wg-economics-advisory] Data Journals - Could we have them in Economics?

[Velichka Dimitrova]

Thank you all for these contributions, I will have these in mind. We look
forward to having a longer discussion during the forthcoming workshop and
consider set-ups costs and framework of a possible data journal in
economics and with the input of Brian Hole.

Please see the draft programme on the event webpage:
http://openeconomics.net/events/workshop-june-2013/

If you can attend but have not told us yet, please let us know!

Best wishes
