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

[Arndt,Theresa]

We don't have a librarian expert here, but our libguide includes sources suggested by some of our Economics faculty.  So maybe there are some sites listed here that can help?

https://libguides.dickinson.edu/economics/data

We also have a relatively new Econometrics major, so if you can summarize suggestions for the listserve, that would be of interest.

Best, Theresa

​Have you looked at Demographics Now (Gale) that we have available in Michigan as part of MeL? I'm not sure if it meets all the needs, but may be able to cover some.

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!
