Staff Papers and Analyses

Working papers in the series were prepared in full or in part by SEC staff economists in the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis. They investigate a broad range of issues relevant to the Commission's mission and are disseminated to stimulate discussion and critical comment to the benefit of the public. DERA Working Papers are preliminary materials that have not been approved by the Commission and reflect only the views of the author(s).

White papers and analyses are prepared by SEC staff in the course of rulemaking and other Commission initiatives. Some of these materials are available elsewhere on the Commission website.
