Macrohistory Short Title Catalob
This is the short title catalog of the NBER Macro-History Database.
It is offered for those who desire to have it available, but the
WAIS search engine at http://nber.harvard.edu/databases/macrohistory
allows a keyword search for any series, and delivers the series
and documentation instantly.

Any individual series can be identified and retrieved with the URL:

http://nber.harvard.edu/databases/macrohistory/data/NN/FILE.db

where NN is the chapter number (the first two digits in the
FILE name) and file is the name below before the colon. e.g.:

http://nber.harvard.edu/databases/macrohistory/data/01/a01005a.db

for the Index of Crop Production. When citing for publication
please refer to the NBER Macrohistory Database and give the
complete URL for all the series used.

A more insightful catalog (showing the role played by each h
variable in the macro-aggregates) is available for $35 from:
