Research Papers in Economics

Special Section on Data Issues
Preface
ROBERT P . FLOOD
In this issue, IMF Staff Papers begins an occasional section on data problems. We
normally publish papers providing primarily analysis of preassembled data. With
this special section we break with that tradition and indicate to researchers that we
are interested in publishing papers on data construction, collection, and reporting
as it applies to topics of research interest.
We anticipate the work published in this section will include papers on both
post–World War II data and historical data. Topics to be published will likely
include data puzzles and anomalies as well as papers like the following “Export
and Import Price Indices,” by Jemma Dridi and Kimberly Zieschang.
