IN a rare feat, the OECD has digitalised and made accessible online the
entire collection of OECD's country economic surveys since its birth in 1961. To
mark its 50th anniversary, this online archive offers
a unique historical perspective of the economic changes OECD countries have
undergone since 1961, tracing their efforts to rebuild their economy after World
War II and onwards into the 21st century.
The OECD iLibrary country
studies archive is a valuable research resource for journalists, academics and
the public, and represents the only analytical content on the OECD iLibrary that
spans the full 50 year history of the OECD.
Produced by OECD’s peer
review system, the surveys give analytical assessments of each country at the
date of publication and suggest recommendations for improvement. The
availability online offers a tool for in-depth historical country comparisons
across 50 years of political and global change, revealing how OECD
recommendations have helped shape modern economies.
