Data Sets

This website contains a variety of time series and cross-sectional data in Excel file format (".xls"). Many computer software packages can import Excel files but in case you do not have access to such software, the data is also provided in ASCII text file format (".txt"). The text files provided here include some non-numeric data (e.g. variable names); with some software, you may have to remove this data before using them.
