Economics Data Sources
This will always be out-of-date: websites change, new ones are added and I
don't know all of them in the first place.
I checked the following links July 2003.
There are many data sources on the internet and many organizations with lists
of data sources on the internet.
Here I list some of these that are quite useful, in order:
Links to lists of data sets
Original Sources for macro data (generally aggregate time series data
such as GDP)
Original Sources for micro data (generally large survey data sets on
individuals)
Be aware that many of the data sources available on the web are updated
infrequently or do not have the actual data readily available for download and
are therefore not particularly useful for data analysis.
Links to Lists of Data Sources
The following links give many, many data sources and can involve much trial
and error to find the data you want.
These links are best to use if the macrodata and microdata links given further
down do not have what you want.
Government Data Sources
Statistical Abstract of the United States. This is often the
first place to go, for either macro or micro data, with over a thousand
tables of key U.S. and some international data. It also gives definitions
and original data sources that you can go to for more detail. Hardcopies are
available in reference section of the library. Electronic copy can be
obtained from
Bureau
of Census: Statistical Abstract (can be accessed by U.C. students) and
immediately click on Statistical Abstract.
The Economic Report to the President. This has extensive U.S.
macro time series data. Hardcopies are available in reference section of the
library.
Electronic copy can be obtained e.g. from
NBER on-line data
Bureau of Economic Analysis .
Publishes Survey of Current Business and other data.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Collects the key data on employment, unemployment and earnings.
Bureau of Census. Many surveys
including the decenniel census.
National Center for Health
Statistics. Many health data sets including NHIS and Health United
States .
Macrodata
The following is is a good source to obtain data in an easy form to download
into Excel.
International Data
Microdata
Micro data includes industry-level or firm-level data and individual-level
data.
Here I give the leading survey data sets on individuals:
Some interview different people in different years (repeated
cross-section).
Others interview the same people each year (panel data).
These data sets and many more are generally available free by download of the
entire dataset from
Many of these data sets plus complete documentation can be purchased as CD's
costing $10-$30.
And in some cases selected variables can be downloaded directly from the
original web-site given below.
For some of these it is easy to download a few selected variables of the web.
For others one can only obtain the entire data set and then select variables on
ones own computer, in which case one needs specialized software as the data sets
are often large. Over time more data sets will be downloadable and the
information given here may be dated.
One can use these data sets as class exercises. e.g. get data on income and
education and analyze. One easy one to extract data from is the PSID.
For serious research, however, one needs to look in more detail at the survey
design and questionnaire to find out, for example, whether a value is 0 because
it really is 0 or whether it is 0 because the person was not asked the question.
Journal Data Archives
Several journals require that data used in a study published in a journal be
placed on archive so other researchers can attempt to replicate their results.
All but the first of these data sets tend to be highly specialized and are most
suitable for use in economics Ph.D. field courses.
This will always be out-of-date: websites change, new ones are added and I
don't know all of them in the first place.

start.
The Dismal Scientist
Although the name is not
stimulating, this is a very dynamic web site. This page is
updated daily and reports current economic conditions in the
U.S. and the world. There is too much on their site to list
here; check it out for yourself.
Economics at About.Com
This a nice general interest
economics site.
The Economist

This site provides the Board
of Governor's map which links to all the Federal Reserve Bank
web sites. Visiting the publications section of each of the
Federal Reserve Banks will provide you with a list of all of the
free publications that are available from each bank. Many of the
banks also provide data on the economy which may be downloaded.
List of Worldwide Central Banks

macro data can be obtained through FRED, but they do offer very
old time-series of several variables that I have yet to see
elsewhere.

provides data obtained from the decennial census at both the
national and regional level. Many data series offered by the

but the Census is their bread and butter.

series are available here.
Bureau of Economic Analysis

contains national, international, and regional income accounting
data. There is not a whole lot of data available here, but many
of their series can be obtained at the county and MSA level.
