Special Registration Requirements for Micro Data
To access micro-socioeconomic data, EUI members must:
(i) complete the Micro Data Registration form (selecting the required data set from the drop-down menu), and
(ii) sign two 'Conditions of Use' agreements at the Economics Library office (BF085).
Note that a separate registration is required for each data set. On approval, registered users are given access to the restricted server. Conditions of access for each data set are available on the Library micro data description pages.
For some micro data sets it is also necessary to prepare a project proposal for the external data provider. Full instructions are available on the 29 individual micro data description pages.
Where micro data is available on the internet, no EUI registration is required. All external micro data providers require on-site registration before access is granted.
For assistance with Library statistical databases, write to the Economics & Statistics Information Specialist at econlibrary@eui.eu.
Each Friday during term, an e-Bulletin is sent to all members of the EUI Economics Department, and to registered users of statistics campus-wide. The e-Bulletin provides information about Statistics Collection development, new acquisitions, data updates and how to access statistical data from Library databases and the world wide web. Scholars who are not currently receiving the e-Bulletin – and who would like to do so – should send a note to econlibrary@eui.eu. (Economists are automatically included.) The e-Bulletin can only be delivered to current EUI members via eui.eu domain addresses.
Statistics on paper are available in the upper wing of the Badia Library. Ascend to the Law Collection and take the short staircase to the Statistics Rooms. All materials shelfmarked STA~ in the Catalogue are held in this area.
The classification of the Statistics Collection (STA) is explained on this Library page.
In addition to materials with STA~ shelfmarks, some periodical publications with statistical appendices are located in the Periodicals Collection on the lower ground floor. These have SER~ shelfmarks in the Catalogue (eg. OECD economic surveys).
