Economic policy research encompasses a variety of information resources. Although academic, scholarly or peer-reviewed articles and publications are considered the most appropriate sources for university level research and writing, you might also have need of general magazines and news articles. Before using the recommended article databases to start your research, here are a few tips when choosing databases:
Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) country analysis and forecasts covers over 200 countries and highlight political, economic and business developments in all significant markets, both established and emerging. Includes access to the "CountryData" and "Market Indicators and Forecasts" modules.
OECD (formerly OECD iLibrary) is the online portal for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The OCED content includes book collections, policy reports, statistical abstracts, and the OECD.Stat tool, with which users can create custom extracts from the OECD data warehouse.
