Re: Applied Economics Quarterly (Konjunkturpolitik) vtaffurelli 02 Apr 2004 13:34 UTC
Good morning, all. I haven't seen a response to this question yet and just had a chance to investigate it myself. The inside front cover of vol. 48, no. 3-4 (2002) contains an explanation. "After 48 volumes publishing mostly German articles, all future contributions will be in English." Beginning with 1994, the English title appeared on the cover in smaller print below the German title (ISSN 0023-3498). Previous issues had only German title. With vol. 49, no. 1 (2003), the English title is prominent on the cover with the German title in smaller print below (ISSN 1611-6607). In addition, the cover is now white; previous volumes were blue. I hope this information is helpful.

Originally it was a German-language journal w/brief English abstracts (OCLC#: 1783320; ISSN: 0023-3498). The OCLC record remains open (1954-9999). However, I've got (what appears to be) a title/language change: Applied Economics Quarterly (Konjunkturpolitik), ISSN: 1611-6607. Item-in-hand is Vol. 49, no. 2 (2003), which fits in with the original numbering. This new (?) version is entirely in English, though. Both are published by Dunker & Humblot in Berlin, but they seem to have different people on their editorial boards. Applied Economics Quarterly doesn't have an OCLC record. Is Applied Economics Quarterly superseding the German-language Konjunkturpolitik, or could it be a parallel English-language publication of some sort? Any clues would be greatly appreciated... I'm new to serials cataloging. Thanks! Masha Sapp Catalog Librarian Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130-4899 (314) 935-4820 msapp@wustl.edu
