Overview

The Davidson Data Center and Network (DDCN) is a repository and locator for data from transition and emerging market economies.  

Data Sources  The primary sources of data made available through the DDCN are individual faculty members and other researchers who study transition and emerging market economies and are willing to share their data for secondary analysis.  The DDCN also serves as a portal to data from other research institutes, multilateral organizations, and commercial vendors.

Funding and Fees  Currently, the DDCN is funded jointly by the William Davidson Institute (WDI) and a National Science Foundation (NSF) seed grant.  All data available for downloading directly from the DDCN are free of charge; however, the DDCN's archive does point to data available at other institutions which may charge a fee either for their data or delivery services.  In order for the data and services which the DDCN provides to remain free of charge, we are actively seeking out additional funding.
