Working Papers

These papers are not "works-in-progress", as such; for various reasons, I'm unlikely to get them in print. Rather, they are papers that are sufficiently polished and, I think, interesting that they ought to be available to whoever might be interested. Some of them are even cited from time to time (not just by me!). Feedback is always welcome at scott.matthews@mun.ca.
