Library Provides Global Economic Data through eiu.com/illinois
The UIC community now has access to a powerful and comprehensive database of business, economic, and demographic information for all areas of the world. Economist Intelligence databases continually update data and analyses of global industries, demographics, consumption, average wages, income levels, market size, infrastructure, and business environments. Researchers can manipulate, display, graph, analyze and download data in various formats.
The Library is providing access to eight EIU products, including CountryData, which contains over 1 million individual data points from 1980 to 2008, and concise summaries of short-term political and economic forecasts on 181 countries; and Country Report, which examines the political scene, economic policy, domestic economy, sectoral trends, and foreign trade and payments for nearly 200 countries and provides detailed two-year forecasts of political and economic developments and trends.
