We now have a subscription to Source OECD – the OECD portal which links to OECD books, periodicals and statistical databases. Click here for a list of titles covered by our subscription.

Notably our access to OECD Economic Outlook, OECD Main Economic Indicators, and OECD National Accounts will now be via Source OECD. Up until now we have used EconData Times Series Databases to access this OECD data.

Also of interest is the ITCS International Trade Data for detailed commodity import and export data in quantity and value (thousand U.S. dollars. Previously this data was available for New Zealand from Statistics New Zealand’s INFOS database. ITCS Trade Data includes imports and exports for all of the countries of the OECD.

As well as these interactive data sources, Source OECD gives easy access to the OECD Economic Surveys.

I like the new podcasts which may also be popular with students. For example The EURO area – will the recovery last?

Source OECD is web based and is accessable on and off campus to registered users and offers a considerable improvement to our access to OECD data.
