EconData

Econometric data service for automating workflows using African economic and financial data

EconData enables automation of analytical workflows that depend on public domain or third-party data.

Codera also uses EconData to automate models, do research, and create value-added products such as indicator and forecast dashboards of the economy. These dashboards and forecasts are made available to our private clients.

The data aspect of EconData is built on top of the Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) information model. To make the data useful, an open API and a package for R and an excel plugin are also provided, enabling automatable workflows.

Our EconData blog, called Randomsample, provides tutorials for using EconData and automating models and charts using the platform.

We are continuously adding data sources to EconData, and developing tools that enable automation of economic and financial analysis. We would appreciate any feedback on EconData and would love to collaborate with researchers and developers on further development of open data infrastructure. All data can be made available to researchers on request.
