New databases – Roper i–Poll and Global Financial Data

Writing about web page https://pugwash.lib.warwick.ac.uk/search/v

The Library has taken out new subscriptions to two new databases which were requested by the Economics Department - you can access them online via the Library home page and the link to Databases.

Global Financial Dataprovides very long runs of data, including stock indices, interest rates, commodities, Nasdaq data and current historical shares.

Roper i-Poll provides public opinion poll data on a wide range of economic, social and political topics. Most of the data is derived from US opinion polls, with some international coverage.

We hope many of you will find these new resources useful! Please contact Helen.Riley@Warwick.ac.uk if you have any questions about these or other Economics databases.

New global company database – Orbis

Writing about web page http://webcat.warwick.ac.uk/record=e1001403~S1

The Library now provides access to Orbis, a database from Bureau van Dijk which contains company information on large and medium-sized companies worldwide. It replaces Amadeus and has a much wider scope. We still have FAME (UK company financial information) and Orbis Bank Focus. There is online help available on each database, but please contact Helen Riley if you have any questions.

Check out all our databases via the Library webbsite and the link to Databases! You need to access them online in this way with your Warwick username and password. The only two exceptions are Datastream and Eikon, which are only available on one PC on Floor 1 of the Library - you can book it via the record for Datastream in our catalogue.

Market research data in Statista

Writing about web page http://webcat.warwick.ac.uk/record=e1001297~S15

If you are looking for global market research, company and industry data, try Statista! This database provides a good range of data and reports, including selected consumer information from Nielsen and other companies. Access it through the Library website and the link to Databases. After you log on and do an initial search, you can alter the location focus menu to pick a country, or pick "Deactivated" to find information from all available countries. It's very user-friendly!


Finding data and reports from the UN and the OECD

Writing about web page https://pugwash.lib.warwick.ac.uk/search~S1?/vEconomics/veconomics/1%2C3%2C62%2CB/exact&FF=veconomics+all+databases&1%2C37%2C

If you are looking for reports, journal articles or data published by the United Nations or the OECD, you may find it better to log on to UN iLibrary and/or OECD iLibrary though the Library website and the Databases list. Although both organisations make a lot of material available free on their websites, many OECD publications are only available as read-only files on the website, whereas the database provides printing and downloading options. The databases also make it easier to search specifically for research material, as they have very good search engines - this will save you a lot of time!

UN iLibrary provides access to data on Sustainable Development Goals and more - select Statistics to find the datasets.

OECD iLibraryprovide access to a lot of their data as well as reports and journals - the only exception is data from the International Energy Agency, which we can access free of charge from the UK Data Service.

If you need any help with locating data or other material, please contact me any time - Helen.Riley@Warwick.ac.uk
