Public Use Data Archive

The NBER data collection here is an eclectic mix of public use economic, demographic, and enterprise data obtained over the years to satisfy the specific requests of NBER affiliated researchers for particular projects. There are also files created as the output of NBER projects and intended for wider use. Where allowed by the sources, we offer access to these files that may be useful to other researchers or in aid of replication studies. Files here are often in more convenient formats than at the original data source and may remain here while no longer available from that source. However, files that receive periodic updates at the source may not be updated here.
