World Development Indicators (World Bank),

available on line from campus computers at:

(1) Series.

There are 500 series available for most of the countries. A list of the ones I believe will be more useful to you is available at:

http//www.ssc.wisc.edu/~munia/365/selectedseries2.htm

You have to decide which ones you will use. It will depend on which ones are more relevant to your country's historical performance and the particular aspects you want to emphasize.

I want to see the long run behavior of your country so try to present data from at least 1960 on (if it is available).

Charts:

Change the units to the appropriate one before plotting each series and use:

Series Down/ year across

Do one series at a time or export to Excel.

(2) Country at-a-Glance tables (available from different site)

These tables present two pages of key indicators tracing the trends in social and economic development over the last three decades. Aggregates for each country's regional and income groups are also included. The headings are: poverty and social, key economic ratios and long term trends, structure of the economy, prices and government finance, trade, balance of payments, and external debt and resource flows. Charts such as the "development diamond" make it easy to see the relationships between indicators and among countries. These tables are available on line:
