Abstract Details
'Resources V: International data - new resources and future directions' highlights new ESDS and data provider developments including macro and micro data visualisations online. Its main focus is the data resources available for multi-national research, new tools and pathbreaking future developments such as the Council for European Social Science Data Archives' European Research Infrastructure Consortium (cessda-ERIC). Finally, we discuss the impact of the Stiglitz report and the OECD's Global Project which propose systems of more relevant indicators of societal progress, going beyond traditional measures such as GDP and taking into account social, environmental and economic concerns.
