When doing research in economics, you may need statistics or datasets to support your conclusions or to test your hypotheses.
Statistics are analyses of data, usually meant to provide evidence for a particular conclusion. Datasets are aggregated raw data that you will process using a variety of tools based on your research question.
These are good starting places for your search. As your research questions become more refined, you may want to use more subject-specific resources which you can find in other Library Subject Guides. For instance, our Archival Data page in the Psychology guide has sources for social science data. If you require census data or other government-collected data, you can refer to Government Information Data & Statistics.
