Data observer

Starting in volume 236 (2016), the Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik / Journal of Economics and Statistics publish a special section entitled Data Observer. Contributions describe data that can be used in empirical research in economics, and in the social sciences in general. The purpose is to describe the information that is available in the data sets, to give examples of topics investigated with the data, and to inform readers how to access these data for their own research. Furthermore, papers in the series portray the research data centers and data service centers of data producing institutions that allow academic researchers to work with (mostly confidential) micro data for individuals and firms.

All contributions to the Data Observer section are available free of charge from this website of the Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik / Journal of Economics and Statistics.

Those who are interested in contributing to this section are encouraged to contact the editor in charge of the special section, Joachim Wagner, by sending a mail to wagner@leuphana.de.
