Primary Sources Access – Foundation (Plan E): Economist Intelligence Unit

Description

Economist Intelligence Unit Country Reports Archive provides detailed coverage of political, economic and commercial developments worldwide from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)’s historical Country Reports (previously Quarterly Economic Reviews), covering all countries from 1952 to 1995. Comprehensive quarterly overviews allow researchers to gain a thorough understanding of an event, policy or development from one or two reports.

The depth of the archive allows researchers access to a consistent, impartial voice back to 1952, and in addition to the highly regarded insight from EIU, each report contains tables with detailed country level statistics downloadable to Excel allowing users to see the numbers behind the text. Keyword searchable full text allows users to quickly find references to specific people, events or companies whichever report they occur in.
