Business and Economics Library

The United Nations has made its Common Database freely available to the public.  It provides hundreds of time series data on economics, trade and demographics for the nations of the world, which can be downloaded to Excel.  The library subscribes to several similar databases, including Euromonitor’s GMID and the World Bank’s World Development Indicators.

Another UN database, Comtrade, is also freely availabe, however the free version does not allow downloading.  This database contains commodity trade statistics.  You might also try TradeStats Express for US trade statistics and International Trade by Commodity Statistics, which covers the OECD.
