Indeed, an offender may be punished by his/her current employer, and then move on to another job without further consequences. Sometimes, even the employer may not even care and in some rare cases sponsor plagiarism. <P> The goal of this page is to highlight cases of plagiarism in Economics. All cases have been evaluated by a committee. Each case provides a full description, so that the reader can judge by him/herself whether plagiarism occurred. The response of the accused plagiariser is also published. <P> To submit a case of plagiarism, please follow the procedure detailed below. We are also looking for more volunteers to serve on the committee. In both cases, contact any member. <P><P> <A HREF=committee.html>Committee</A><P> <A HREF=links.html>Links</A> regarding plagiarism<P> <A HREF=procedure.html>Procedure</A><P><P> <A HREF=offenders.html>Offenders</A> <P><A HREF=http://research.stlouisfed.org/privacy.html>Privacy</A> <A HREF=http://research.stlouisfed.org/legal.html>Legal</A> </BODY>
