During several researches I’ve had to search the internet to find publicly available official data of prices of products and services. It’s not always an easy task, if you need to find global or foreign data.
To make the task easier for other researchers, analysts, students etc, I’ll use this blog post to collect the links to such databases. I’m also counting on the contributions of readers to constantly grow this list in time. Please post here comments about other data sources, if you know any. Thank you in advance!
Here are the sources in my list today:
Energy prices
European Union: www.energy.eu
US Energy Information Administration
Fuel (gasoline) prices
Pump price for diesel (Worldbank)
Pump price for gasoline (Worldbank)
US gasoline prices (updated daily)
