SANTA CLARA, CA, Atypon Systems and NASHVILLE, TN American Economic Association – September 26, 2006 – announced today that the AEA journals are now available on the Atypon Link platform

Drucilla Ekwurzel, Director of Publications, Managing Director of EconLit Production & Marketing, AEA said "We chose Atypon as our publisher partner because we have brought our online subscription verification process entirely inhouse. As a consequence of our changing needs, we have decided to move our online journals to the Atypon Link hosting service. We also liked the Trusted Proxy Server authentication of AEA members' access to the AEA journal articles on Atypon Link."

Atypon Link provides a cost effective, aggregated hosting and delivery platform where publishers benefit from a well managed, outsourced e-publishing service. Allowing for a branded publisher presence and providing the ability to set publishing and business model parameters within an easy to use, reliable system, Atypon Link simplifies the process of launching and managing content online and requires less inhouse resources.

"We are delighted that the American Economic Association chose to partner with Atypon" said Audrey Melkin, Director of Business Development. "Atypon Link is a perfect fit for the AEA as they decided to enhance their online journals platform. We look forward to a growing, long-term relationship with this prestigious professional organization."

About the American Economic Association

American Economic Association The American Economic Association was organized in 1885 at a meeting in Saratoga, New York, by a small group interested in economics. It was incorporated February 3, 1923. Richard T. Ely, who was actively involved in the founding of the Association, was its first secretary.

From 1885 to about 1910, the membership of the Association consisted mainly of college and university teachers of economics. With the growing general interest in the subject of economics after the turn of the century, the Association attracted an increasing number of members from business and professional groups. Today the membership is approximately 18,000. In addition, about 4,200 libraries, institutions, and firms subscribe to the quarterly publications of the Association.

Over 50% of the AEA membership is associated with academic institutions, 15% with business and industry, and the remainder largely with federal, state and local government or other not-for-profit organizations
