List of Datasets - Data
Data
I created this website for our 2nd year PhD class “Evidence-Based Macroeconomics and Finance”, to help you find macroeconomic datasets. You should find the main sources for macroeconomic datasets out there (as well as a selection of series in each), but this list is by no means not exhaustive. You may find more available at the UCLA Rosenfeld Library dictionary of databases.

WRDS - Microeconomic Data
Probably the greatest resource for macro / finance data is provided through Wharton Research Data Services. It includes for example Compustat, CRSP, BlockHolders, TRACE, ExecuComp, I/B/E/S, Markit, and many more… All these resources are available through APIs. I provide only some examples below.

getSDMXServiceProviders
An Application Programming Interface (API) is an interface or communication protocol between different parts of a computer program intended to simplify the implementation and maintenance of software. Nowadays, many institutionally provided database are available through APIs. Below, I introduce you to some of these APIs, but there are actually many more you can use.
We will use the rsdmx package to read in SDMX data into R statistics:
