Economic and Financial Data: Home
Introduction
The objective of this LibGuide is to provide information on where to find and how to access economic and financial data, either through web-based resources or online databases subscribed by the Victoria University. The main online databases available are Datastream Professional, Eikon, Mint Global - Bureau van Dijk, and Orbis - Bureau van Dijk
There are also two other LibGuides that have a similar objective, i.e. Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Business - Statistics and Reports, and a general information regarding business, commerce and economic library databases.
The LibGuide Statistics and Mathematical Softwares also contains some pages on data sources. However, this LibGuide will be different in the way that it uses a data type-based approach rather than a source-based approach. It means that this LibGuide will guide users to locate the sources of data they need.
