Data Sources and Leads
Last updated 3/25/2008
This is a listing of sites where you can find data. As you find your data, if it is from a public site accessible from the web, email me the url and a description of the data. I'll add the source to the list so that the whole class can share the information. Remember, the web is only one source for data. You can also look in government documents, publications, inside contacts, or your own survey.
Remember, you only need 40 cases or so and 8 or 10 variables. Before you take on a time-consuming data construction task, please talk to me.
