Preview Before Export
Check three things when previewing Global Data:
- Country coverage: the sample should include the needed countries.
- Year coverage: the sample should have enough observations for the model.
- Source definition: indicators with the same name can differ across sources.
Using Global Data in Econometrics
Econometrics is designed for preliminary checks. If no specific entity is selected, the backend may aggregate by year. For formal country-panel research, export the full dataset and validate the panel structure in R, Python, Stata, or another analysis environment.
