The NBER's International Finance and Macroeconomics (IFM) Program is sponsoring a 2015 Summer Institute "Data Session" and a corresponding web site ("Catalog of Data Sources") where the various datasets are archived.
Great idea. Hats off to the organizers, Galina Hale and Michael Klein.
This summer's IFM data session is not the first, but the initiative is still young. Of course there may be incompletely-resolved issues regarding how best to organize the data sessions and site, what to leave in and what to leave out, etc. But the key first step is to take a first step, and Galina and Michael have taken a large leap. Hopefully others will follow suit, both inside and outside the NBER.
This summer six new datasets will be presented / discussed / archived:
