This repository tries to introduce economics and financial databases, either publicly available databases or private ones. This attempt had already started with dataDr weblog for Iranian students in Farsi, which dates back to February 2011. From June 2023, we decided to expand the applicability of this project through GitHub in English.
This google sheet introduces online databases. It contains different columns as pillar of each database including:
- a link to the database
- short description
- application(s)
- country
- availability of data
- a "How to use it!" column to explain how to use the database
It also has a specific sheet to introduce macro events in the history of US which are used as exogenous shocks in literature. It is periodically updated.
