JSTOR was initiated in 1995 at seven different library sites, and originally encompassed ten economics and history journals. JSTOR access improved based on feedback from its initial sites, and it became a fully searchable index accessible from any ordinary web browser.
BREAKING DOWN 'U.S. Savings Bonds' A U.S. savings bond is a common type of government bond, which is a bond issued by a governmental body to raise funds from the public to fund its capital projects and other operations necessary to manage the economy.
Full Answer. The two types of savings bonds, the EE and the I, differ primarily in how interest is calculated. The EE earns a rate based on 5-year Treasury security yields, while the I earns a variable rate indexed to inflation. Both are available for purchase online at Treasury Direct, a government website.
