New Economic Papers (NEP) is part of RePEc (Research Papers in   
Economics), the online repository of economics working papers. NEP   
provides subscribers notice of new working papers in their area, and is   
an extremely useful resource for keeping track of the latest   
developments in ones field. Unfortunately, the subscriber list for   
History of Economics is inactive, since there is no editor.  I inquired   
about the procedure for appointing an editor, and the general editor,   
Dr. Bernardo Batiz-Lazo, sent me the following message. If interested   
please contact Dr. Batiz-Lazo directly at [log in to unmask]
