----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Geographic Distribution of HES Subscribers, 2001-09-06 ------------------------------------------------------ This report is derived from 2000-09-01 and 2001-09-06 snapshots. Present tense refers to the latter date, Thursday 6 September 2001. For the geographic distribution of subscribers, 1996-03 to 1998-09, when the number increased from 200 to 500, visit http://eh.net/~HisEcSoc/Society/geog.shtml The HES email list has 677 subscribers. That counts persons, not eddresses (some people use two), and incorporates a few other corrections. Here is the distribution by large regions, countries, and a few institutions. CONTENTS: SUBSCRIBERS BY: LARGE REGION (USA, Europe, ...) COUNTRY (USA, UK, ...) INSTITUTION (U Amsterdam, Duke U, ...) TECHNICAL NOTES ("USAmerica", "English", ...) =========================== SUBSCRIBERS BY LARGE REGION =========================== There are five simplistic "regions" of residence: US America, Europe, Asia (including Turkey and Indonesia), Latin America, and "Other" (Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand). "Other" subscribers have always resided in precisely those four countries and the category was called "Commonwealth" in previous editions of this report. "English" is USAmerica, UK and Ireland from "Europe", and "Other".

I have allocated {.com .net .org .edu .gov .us .mil .int} (131) to country of residence if known (127) or to US America if unknown (4). HES has subscribers in 46 countries, newly this year in Estonia and Uruguay. Next in number of subscribers after US America with 288 subscribers (43%) is UK Britain with 48 (7%). 2000 2001 NUMBER OF COUNTRIES 45 46 NUMBER OF PERSONS 604 677 group code --------------------- Eur uk UKBritain 33 48 Eur fr France 36 38 Eur de Germany 27 32 Eur it Italy 22 23 Eur nl Netherlands 19 20 Eur es Spain 10 15 Eur be Belgium 11 13 Eur pt Portugal 10 10 Eur se Sweden 8 8 Eur ch Switzerland 7 7 Eur dk Denmark 7 7 Eur at Austria 4 6 Eur gr Greece 3 5 Eur ru Russia 5 4 Eur pl Poland 2 4 Eur no Norway 3 3 Eur by Belarus 2 3 Eur ro Romania 2 3 Eur hu Hungary 1 2 Eur ie Ireland 1 2 Eur fi Finland 3 1 Eur yu Yugoslavia 1 1 Eur mt Malta 1 1 Eur bg Bulgaria 1 1 Eur ee Estonia 1 Eur ua Ukraine (formerly represented) AsiaW tr Turkey 4 5 AsiaW il Israel 4 4 AsiaW ae UAEmirates 1 1 AsiaW ir Iran 1 AsiaW om Oman (formerly represented) Asia jp Japan 20 24 Asia in India 2 4 Asia cn China 3 3 Asia tw Taiwan 2 3 Asia kr Korea 2 2 Asia hk Hong Kong 1 1 Asia sg Singapore 1 1 Asia ph Philippines (formerly represented) Asia my Malaysia Asia id Indonesia Amer br Brazil 8 13 Amer ar Argentina 3 3 Amer mx Mexico 3 2 Amer cl Chile 1 2 Amer ve Venezuela 1 1 Amer uy Uruguay 1 Amer co Colombia (formerly represented) Amer pe Peru Amer cr Costa Rica Other ca Canada 32 29 Other au Australia 22 26 Other nz New Zealand 3 3 Other za So.

See Technical Note. ========================== SUBSCRIBERS BY INSTITUTION ========================== "Institution" is generally indicated by one or two components of an email address preceding the last component or "country". Some real institutions with several subscribers are undercounted here because of their addressing conventions or because some affiliated persons subscribe from an outside address. Other real institutions without several subscribers may be listed here because former students or workers retain their email accounts. HES has four or more subscribers with email service at each of these institutions (excluding administrative subscriptions at EH.Net). 8 U Amsterdam Netherlands uva.nl 7 Duke U USA duke.edu 7 Erasmus U Rotterdam Netherlands eur.nl 7 U Paris 1 France univ-paris1.fr 7 Columbia U USA columbia.edu 7 Harvard U USA harvard.edu, hbs.edu 5 George Mason U USA gmu.edu 5 London School of Econ UKBritain lse.uk 4 U Complutense Madrid Spain ucm.es 4 U Porto Portugal up.pt 4 U Notre Dame USA nd.edu 4 U Michigan USA umich.edu 4 Goteborg U Sweden gu.se 4 U Wisconsin USA wisc.edu 4 U New Hampshire USA unh.edu =============== TECHNICAL NOTES =============== - Each person is counted once, at current residence (or so I guess) for those with two subscriptions. - "US America" includes the majority of those persons with eddresses ending {.org .com .net .edu .us .gov .mil}. Except for the {.edu}, I have asked everyone who uses one of these domains. Now 2009-09-12, only 4 of 130 are unknown; they are counted as USA. For the {.edu}, by fortune, wisdom, or insight I know that two are outside the USA. - "English" counts persons residing in "US America" as just defined, or in UKBritain, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, Australia, or New Zealand. In terms of the Large Regions, it is "USAmerica", Britain and Ireland from "Europe", and "Other". It is a sloppy category in many respects. ----Paul Paul Wendt, Watertown MA, USA <[log in to unmask]> Subscriptions manager, HES email list ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
