Statistical Data

Data sources seem to be in inexhaustible supply (except when YOU'RE looking for something in particular...).  This page is aimed at helping to bridge that gap.  Though it is intended to answer many users' data needs, it certainly cannot handle them all, and so we strongly encourage you to work with the librarians at the Reference Desk for further assistance and one-to-one service.

Databases

Mergent Online

At the above link is a list on which you will see Mergent, the electronic database comprising the information traditionally to be found in the paper-format "Moody's Manuals."  The user can retrieve data on a single firm or on several comparatively. Typically the Web-site provides 10 years' worth of data, and there is a longer backfile on the Library's cd-rom server. Click on the latter link and choose Moody's FISonline Backfile.

For even older data, Moody's Industrial (and other )Manuals are shelved at or nearby qHG 4961 .M67

IMPORTANT: Go to the Mergent Online link above for the current, electronic version of Moody's.

Lexis-Nexis Business/Company Information

Here is one of the "gold mines" of data about the firm. Note that the link above takes you to the Library's databases page, and on the left is the Lexis-Nexis link.  At the Lexis-Nexis site you will find a number of choices with firm-specific information. Enter any one and you then see a pull-down called "Source" that allows you to pick from lists of such corporate-information databanks as:

SEC 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F reports, as well as annual reports and filings
NAARS annual reports
International company, U.S. public and private company reports
Bankruptcy reports
Standard and Poor corporate descriptions
Disclosure reports
Hoover's company reports
Stock reports

The Statistical index Portion of Lexis-Nexis

(Please note: The link above takes you to the Library's databases page, and on the left is the Lexis-Nexis link.  At the Lexis-Nexis site, choose the link "Statistical.")

The Statistical index portion of Lexis-Nexis is a significant online source of statistical data in the Reference Collection.  It cites data and in some cases provides full-text; for the rest, it is backed up by microfiche, as follows:

The microfiche collections filed as ASI, IIS, and SRI are on the main floor. Equipment to read and copy microfiche is provided nearby, and assistance with both the microfiche and the equipment is available at the Reference Desk.  Besides access through the Statistical index portion of Lexis-Nexis, print indexes to the ASI, etc., microfiche are also found in the Reference Collection, as follows:

• American Statistics Index (Ref Bibliog Z 7554 .U5 A46)
• Index to International Statistics (Ref Bibliog Z 7552 I53), and
• Statistical Reference Index (Ref Bibliog Z 7554 .U5 S79)

U.S. Gov't (selected)

Bureau of Economic Analysis (http://www.bea.doc.gov/)--includes regional, national, and international data, as well as an overview of the U.S. economy.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (U.S.)--www.bls.gov--includes a great variety of time series viewable on screen, especially (un)employment and prices, some local.

Bureau of the Census (U.S.)--www.census.gov--data on the site is extensive and open to the creative imagination to apply--population data from the latest census is found through the "American FactFinder" link.  Housing data and other special topics are accessible through the Web-site as well.

County Business Patterns (U.S.)--www.census.gov/epcd/cbp/view/cbpview.html--under the auspices of the Bureau of the Census, this data site contributes substantially to uncovering local-level microeconomic patterns.

Department of Commerce (U.S.)--www.doc.gov--the umbrella organization serving as entree both to some of the above agencies as well as others with data on their sites.

Economic Indicators (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/indicators/browse.html)

Economic Statistics Briefing Room (http://www.whitehouse.gov/fsbr/esbr.html)--a service of the Executive Branch

Fedstats (http://www.fedstats.gov) -- leads to data published by more than 100 separate federal agencies.

Federal Reserve Board (http://www.federalreserve.gov)
links to "the Fed"'s site, with full text research and discussion papers; minutes, testimony, and speeches of "Fed" officials; statistics

FERRET--www.ferret.bls.census.gov--represents the Federal Electronic Research, Review, and Extraction Tool, whereby the user can extract and compile datasets of one's own design out of data residing with the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

General Accounting Office (http://www.gao.gov)--offers the current (even daily) investigative reports of this "arm" of the Congress, in full text and in abstracts.

Regional Economic Information System (http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/regional/reis/)--searchable for wage and salary information by metropolitan statistical area, BEA economic area, or state, as well as personal income and journey-to-work statistics.

Stat-USA/Internet (http://www.stat-usa.gov/)--Web version of the National Trade Databank, the Economic Bulletin Board, and several other government datafiles. Although use is free, a password is required for entering some files. Come to the Reference Desk for assistance.

Also, the Federal Web Locator (http://www.infoctr.edu/fwl/)--can lead you to any U.S. government agency's Web-site, many of which have clearly labeled links to data they collect and publish, often online and free to access.

There are many non-public data sites, often drawing their data from public sources but offering "value-added" reformatting for better use with spreadsheets as well as analysis. Down to some levels of their services there may be no charge for access. One to try is:

Dismal Scientist--www.dismal.com--a commercial site with advertising paying the costs, so in part its data is free. One could look at Regional Data for states and "metros"; also U.S. macroeconomic forecasting material.

Further leads can be found on the Statistics page of the well-regarded and reliable Librarians' Index to the Internet.

Secondary Sources

Although not directly intended as sources of numbers, the following three subscription databases each contain thousands of journals and their articles, many of which are in full-text format.  Searching them by subject may prove fruitful in the quest for numbers:

Statistical Methods

A very good book:

If help with statistical methodology is what you really need--regression, correlation, significance, that sort of thing--these are well explained in a statistics text like
         Sirkin, R. Mark. Statistics for the Social Sciences. Thousand Oaks, Calif. : Sage
         Publications, c1999.   HA29 .S5763 1999.

Should "Sirkin" be charged out, other good, introductory statistics textbooks can be found by checking the books on the shelf nearby that same call number (above).

Statistics Every Writer Should Know (http://www.robertniles.com/stats/)

Suggestions (especially for those at the "intro to stats" level)

(1) Suppose you're having trouble finding the data that you're looking for.  Do you absolutely positively have to find the independent variable(s) you thought up?

Let's say you do have some flexibility.  Here's a suggestion:
You could try to find data that would "proxy" for what you can't find. For example, say you're hunting for the average age of licensed drivers in each of the 50 U.S. states, in researching a correlation between driver age and car accidents.  But finding the average age of drivers in each state is proving difficult.  Therefore, it might be best to look for a related statistic--for instance the widely available percentage of the population aged 18-24 in each state.  That could proxy for average driver age.

(2) Here's another coping strategy: aggregate (or disaggregate) the data you seek.  Suppose you want monthly but you only find quarterly data (or vice versa).  Consider interpolating or consolidating the data...or even using what you can find.

(3) However, it is important to pursue the number of cases or observations that you are assigned to collect, even if that means altering the independent variables as in (1) or (2) above--because in statistical analysis the number of cases (observations) matters!  It affects the validity of the outcome.

At Union, good statistical support can also be found beyond the Library, of course!   There's the Stat Lab in the basement of Social Sciences, where you can learn to use Excel, SPSS, and E-Views, among others.  And there are some good statistics leads on the homepages of several faculty in the Social Sciences: Professors Cotter or Klein.   The Economics Department provides links to data sources on its departmental Web-site.

There is the International Encyclopedia of Statistics shelved at Ref HA 17 .I63 in the Library's Reference Collection, and whether you're truly stuck or your wheels are just spinning a little, please remember:

The Reference Desk welcomes your question(s)!!
