AER's research arm has four surfaces: the AER dataset, our editorial articles, our downloadable publications and the transparency index. Pick a door.
About the Data
How the dataset is built, how country research is integrated, and what the data actually contains.
Research articles
Long-form data pieces: Country Analytics, Demographic Spotlights, Sector Impact Analysis, Global Emigration Trends. New regional analysis compares the EU, the Caribbean CBI states and the Gulf as blocks.
Publications
Country reports, methodology guides, and the Complete Research Volume PDF. For media licensing, institutional citation, or in-house research use.
Data Transparency
A 0 to 5 score on what each country actually publishes about its US-citizen population. Tier 1 publishes nearly everything; Tier 5 publishes almost nothing.
