Current Readings in Transport Economics Vol.7, No.1, 2009 Congratulations to Martin Dresner, editor of Research in Transportation Economics (RETREC). The journal is now covered by the database Research Papers in Economics (RePEc), from which already 100s of RETREC papers are being downloaded every month. On top of that, RETREC has just been accepted by the Journal of Economic Literature for inclusion in EconLit, the American Economic Association’s electronic bibliography of economic literature. It’s nice to see this important journal’s unique contribution being recognised in this way. To mark the occasion, we’re promoting the partial table of contents of the forthcoming RETREC volume to the head of this issue’s list. Chris Pringle Publisher c.pringle@elsevier.com
