Economics Notes, Questions, and Study Resources

Appendix A Locating International Numbers and Other Information The Internet and the World Wide Web have fundamentally changed how we do international research. If you want to explore international trade competition, a recent financial crisis, a trade dispute between the United States and the European Union, the policy of the Korean government toward exchange rates, or almost any other topic in international economics, useful information is available. You can find a lot of it by putting the topic name into a good search engine. You usually will get links to several useful websites. (You will probably also get links to a number of less useful sites, and sometimes even links to sites whose information is not reliable. One aspect of good Web research is identifying the best sites and validating the information you obtain.) Of course, some sources of information are available only in hard copy, so access to a good library is also important for many research projects. This appendix presents some of the best sources of international data and information. Figure A.1 shows a number of useful websites, ranging from those maintained by official international organizations to those maintained by private organizations.
