Citibase
is a macroeconomic database that originated at Citicorp Database
Services. It is currently known as Basic Economics
and is maintained by Global Insight.
The
database contains over 7900 monthly, quarterly, or annual
time series ending with the latest available observation and
going back to 1946, if available. The data are on a national
level, taken from over one hundred U.S. Government and private
publications. All revisions (of data, concepts, and coverage)
made by source agencies are incorporated into the databank.
Labels
(data series code names) consist of 2 to 6 characters and
remain unchanged as long as data for the same concept continue
to be published. Code names follow certain loose conventions.
In general, the broader the concept, the shorter the name
of the series representing it. The first letter of each label
generally indicates the "chapter" to which the series belongs.
A list of all series can be viewed in the Data
Dictionary below.
