wiiw FDI Database - Complete
Horizontal view
In the horizontal view, each time series is represented by one line in the output, with the values for each year in separate columns.*
Vector view
In the vector view, all values appear in a single column.* This format can be used for Excel pivot tables and is a better starting point for many statistical software programs (Eviews, R, SAS, Stata).
The database is exported every day at 7:30 a.m. MET.
Especially the vetor files are rather large, thus all export files were zipped. The data can be extracted using e.g. programs like
7-Zip or
Peazip.
