Two Resources for Economics & Finance
Oxford E-books in Economics and Finance
The Libraries have recently subscribed to a collection of electronic books in the fields of economics and finance, a subset of "Oxford Scholarship Online" which is produced by Oxford University Press. Topics covered in this collection include development, growth, econometrics, economic history, economic systems, financial economics, history of economic thought, macro- and monetary economics, microeconomics, public and welfare economics, South and East Asia, international topics, crisis studies, sustainability, global and national macroeconometric modeling, globalization, labor conditions, and more.
Go directly to Oxford Scholarship Online: Economics and Finance to see titles, authors, and sub-discipline lists of the items included in this collection. Individual titles are represented in the Blais online catalog, as well, and may be searched by author, title, or keyword. Also in Blais, you may key in the title Oxford Scholarship Online, and you will see the list of titles displayed; at that point, you may click on individual titles to bring up the book's record. Within each book record, there is a link to connect to the full text of that book.
International Financial Statistics
International Financial Statistics (IFS) is a standard source of international statistics on all aspects of international and domestic finance. It reports, for most countries of the world, current data needed in the analysis of problems of international payments and of inflation and deflation, i.e., data on exchange rates, international liquidity, international banking, money and banking, interest rates, prices, production, international transactions, government accounts, and national accounts.
Capabilities of IFS Online:
- browsing the directory tree
- drilling down through the structure of the database
- selecting either individual time series or groupings of time series within a table presentation
- saving selected data and metadata in a variety of formats, including a spreadsheet
- saving and loading a query of selected time series
Access IFS at www.imfstatistics.org
