MacroDataGuide update June 2009

In June 2009, reviews of four new sources of macro data were added to the MacroDataGuide. The new sources added to the guide are Armed Conflict Dataset (UCDP/PRIO), Correlates of War, European Protest and Coercion Data and The Global Competitiveness Index.

New access point for UN statistics

In February 2008, a new and very significant source of macro data was launched. UNdata replaced the old UN Common Database in order to fuse access to data stemming from the various UN organs and organizations. UNdata disseminates data from 17 databases, which users can organize into tables and download. The contents of the portal will be further expanded with both international and national databases and thus aspires to become a single entry point to great amounts of statistical information.

A new resource for international macro data

The MacroDataGuide is a NSD-initiated new resource for international macro data. The pages do not hold actual data sets but serve as a guide to aquiring the data you need for your research.

European Social Survey: Contextual data

This 2008 report formed the origins of this website. It examines the availability and comparability of extant sources of contextual statistics of particular interest to users of ESS data. This website seeks to broaden the scope and be a valuable resource for social science data users worldwide (PDF).
