Find the right data for your health economics study
A curated catalogue of evaluation-ready datasets. Each one is tagged by structure (panel, repeated cross-section, administrative), the finest geography it supports, the research designs it can serve, its access conditions and its comparability traps. Every entry links to the source used to check it.
What do you want to study?
Pick a theme, the finest geography you need, and the design you have in mind. Datasets are ranked by fit, and each result says why it matched and what to watch out for.

Health-risk hotspots
Country-level shares of people exposed to major health risks, from World Bank Group Scorecard indicators (latest year from 2015 onward). Hover a country for its value and year. The panel lists the ten highest values and the datasets that measure the risk at finer resolution.

How this catalogue is built
Verification
- Checked The entry's rounds, latest release and access were checked against an official or authoritative source on the date shown. The source is linked in the entry.
- To verify The entry is drafted from the author's knowledge, or a detail (such as a new round's release) could not yet be confirmed. The unconfirmed point is stated in the entry.
- The catalogue lists metadata only. It does not host or redistribute microdata; access always goes through the custodian.
Map data and scope
- Hotspot values come from World Bank Group Scorecard vision indicators: food and nutrition insecurity; basic hygiene, sanitation and drinking water (shown as the share without access, 100 minus the reported share); and poverty at $3.00 a day. Only country-years from 2015 onward are shown.
- No values are estimated or filled in. Countries without data are shown in grey.
- User guide & issue briefs (PDF, 11 pp.): how to use the Finder, matching data to designs, ten comparability traps, and four short analyses of health issues.
