Business, finance and statistical databases in the library

Numerous business and financial databases which are otherwise subject to the payment of a fee are readily available free of charge for the students and lecturers of Corvinus University of Budapest from the computers of the university network or even from home through VPN.

The purpose of the lecture is to help the students in making optimal use of the three databases which are probably the most useful and the widest in this respect: Statista, MarketLine and EMIS.

We recommend the lectures especially for marketing, finance, enterprise development, accounting and leadership management students; as well as for economic-mathematical analyst, economics and public policy, economic analyst, international economics and business management students, and for students in the finance and the international economics and business management programs. As well as to everybody who is interested.

In this semester the subject is available in the framework of digital education. Technical details will be provided by the lecturer after the registration.

The purpose of the consultation is to help the students in making optimal use of the three financial, business and statistical databases which are probably the most useful and the widest – i.e. Statista, MarketLine and EMIS – in their specific projects (be it an assignment, project task or dissertation).

These three databases contain financial and economic statistical data broken down to enterprises, sectors and companies, as well as analyses and forecasts, and all three are commonly used by international market and scientific operators. A great advantage of these for-pay databases that contrary to contents available free of charge, the data contained in these databases are complete, are in one place, are sorted according to uniform definitions, are reliable and are easy to search.

Furthermore, three important general statistical databases were also introduced: KSH (Hungarian Central Statistical Office), Eurostat and the OECD iLibrary.

In this semester the subject is available in the framework of digital education. Technical details will be provided by the lecturer after the registration.
