Series presently available include real GDP and population for the aggregate, or total, economy of 65 countries from 1950 through 1998. The data series are located in the GGDC Total Economy Database at the GGDC web site. Estimates of comparative productivity levels in manufacturing will cover approximately 30 countries and will be the first series available in the GGDC Industry Database . A fundamental building block of our internship program is the Monthly Research Exchange. The mission of the Economics Program at The Conference Board is to contribute to the lay and business person's understanding of the forces that drive the global economy and affect economic performance.
Interns provide valuable support for our expanding research program.
Specific internship research projects are designed to meet our researchers' needs and the interests of potential interns. A Conference Board economic indicator package, containing the most widely watched indicators, is now available through the Wharton Research Data Service. They can be used alone for classroom or research purposes, or as inputs to forecasting models. See sample research topics using The Conference Board Economic Indicator Package.
