Data & official recordsfree
Comparative statistics and policy reports across member economies, with strong methodology notes.
Because OECD countries report to shared statistical definitions, its numbers compare more cleanly across countries than figures pulled from each country's own national statistics office. The methodology notes attached to each dataset spell out exactly what's counted, which matters when a notebook needs to explain why one country's numbers look different. Coverage skews to wealthier member economies, so it's the wrong source for a question centered on the developing world.
Import into Gemini Notebook

Gemini Notebook is a reading tool, not a spreadsheet engine — feed it the written reports and summary pages, not raw CSVs, and ask about what the documents say.
