About TheGlobalEconomy.com
TheGlobalEconomy.com serves researchers, academics, investors, and others who need reliable economic data on foreign countries.
Our data set includes over 500 indicators for over 200 countries spanning the period from 1960 to now.
The sources include central banks, national statistical institutes, and multiple international organizations: sources and methods.
We select, compile, collate, document, and update the series and make them available for download with just a few clicks. The objective is to save time and effort on data management. We provide free data access for educators who want to use the data in their classroom, as well as to students from low-income countries.
The website also offers various educational resources about the global economy. Users can explore global rankings for over 500 indicators with an explanation of the factors driving the differences across countries (see labor productivity as an example). Our comparator can be used to track trends across over time. The global economy guide, glossary, and directory explain key concepts and relationships in the global economy.
The site started in 2012 as an extension of The Global Economy class that Neven developed at Georgia State University in Atlanta (syllabus). Over time, the data base grew to serve various research interests and we are now proud to have a large number of users from virtually every country. Neven is a Ph.D. economist with a doctorate from Purdue University and over 10 years professional experience on the economics faculty of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies in Atlanta. He specializes in international finance and the role of finance for economic development. More information about Neven can be found at his Google Scholar page and LinkedIn. He also started Global Petrol Prices.
