ELECTRONIC SOURCES
WORLD DATA 1994. From the World Bank's Publications Update: "The World Bank's first CD-ROM product contains the most comprehensive set of statistical data that the international lending agency has ever produced. Covering 1960 to 1992, this software package features over 700 time-series indicators of World Bank national accounts, balance of payments, social, trade, external debt, and finance data. Many, such as current and constant U.S. dollar national accounts series, are available for the first time. Data sets from World Tables, World Debt Tables, and Social Indicators of Development are given as well as the full text from Trends in Developing Economies (TIDE)."
This CD-ROM is not as user-friendly as EconLit, but with patience you may be able to do an effective search. Since the manual is a fine example of minimalism, one has to try and figure out most things on-screen. Searches can be downloaded into ASCII, D-BASE, LOTUS 1-2-3, AREMOS, or the spread-sheet JAVELIN, which is part of this package.
WISTAT. Women's Indicators and Statistics, United Nations. Ten diskettes. This is a spreadsheet database in a LOTUS 1-2-3 format consisting of statistics from 178 countries in nine subject areas: Population, Education, Economic activity, Households, marital status and fertility, Health, Housing, Political participation, Crime, and National product and expenditures. This has not yet been installed on the hard drive. Coverage is from 1970-1988.
