How to use this page
FRED, NBER, and the Penn World Table are good starting points for most macro and cross-country research. Use the topic filters to narrow by subject area, and check each tool's description for what kind of downloads or APIs it offers — most academic-grade sources here are free to use, though a few require institutional access for full datasets.
