Databank

ESRI Databank of Economic Time-Series

This databank is based on the data contained in the National Income and Expenditure 2010 volume. However, it also contains a very wide range of other time series that have been used in constructing the Medium Term Model (HERMES) and in a range of other related research. The data are all annual time series. While we have tried to have series from at least 1960 (or 1970 for some unpublished national accounts data) to the latest published date available, in many cases it was impossible to obtain historical data for the 1960s and 1970s. There are also a few series that go back to earlier dates, the earliest dating from 1927 (migration).

The databank is currently available in a number of different formats:

·        It is available in a single excel spreadsheet ESRIDBNIE10.xlsx. In Addition, excel spreadsheet FINALVARSNIE10.xlsx includes a subset of ‘final’ variables from the databank, which are used in the HERMES model. All the series are listed in alphabetical order.

·        The primary format is as a TROLL file (available on request) – NIE10.TRL.

·        It is also available in an ASCII format. This file is called NIE10FRM.FRM.
