[Eril-l] Econometrics sites/databases with downloadable datasets

[Diane Westerfield]

The only one I have experience with is Cost of Living Index from C2ER: Council for Community & Economic Research. Our subscription is currently lapsed (long story) but it was reasonable for downloadable data sets and the cost of living calculator tool.

Hi all,
I’m working with an econometrics professor who is looking for “sites/databases with simple user interfaces to download finance data, cross-country macroeconomic series, US geographic areas with info on income, pollution, etc., and other datasets you might know of that have a good mix of categorical and quantitative variables.”

She adds, “The American Community Survey is nice, but it have very few quantitative variables. The [Mintel] marketing dataset that one of my students used last fall was good, except that the data could not be analyzed other than by created cross-tabs.”

This is outside my area of expertise. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Much appreciated!
