This wiki aims to build a comprehensive list of economics and finance data sources around the world. It is part of the Stubborn Mule Wiki.
The Best Data Repositories
This is an extraordinary resourse. With over 20,000 time series, the data is made readily accessible either simply via a web browser or through programmatic interfaces. For example, the R module quantmod makes it easy to import and analyse FRED data.
Who would have thought that spies could be so helpful? As well as providing detailed profiles of individual counties, much of the data is available is world listings. For example, here is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) around the world. Unfortunately, these listings do not have simple URLs in CSV format.
