SourceOECD: Global Statistics and More
Locating statistics and information about economics, health indicators, and ecology in countries outside the U.S. can be difficult. SourceOECD is created by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) to provide access to this type of information. In addition to a searchable database of statistics, they provide statistical abstracts with basic information about OECD member countries.
The OECD also convenes groups of researchers to study aspects of economic development. These researchers gather the statistical data and use it to write working papers, books, and peer-reviewed journals, all of which are available on the SourceOECD website.
Some example titles of working papers:
- Trends in Severe Disability Among Elderly People
- Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement Policies in Mexico (part of a series; other titles in the series cover this topic in other OECD countries)
- Dynamics of Biotechnology Research and Industry in India
- Higher Education Management and Policy
Contact a reference librarian if you have questions about using SourceOECD.
