This guide curates resources and information tools for you to use as you research and write your thesis. The Home page contains general tools and tips. The Find Articles and Find Data pages offer curated lists of information sources/databases.
Use economics databases and databases from other disciplines to find wide-ranging, relevant literature. Look for dissertations and theses on your topic and use their cited references.
Note the difference between peer-reviewed literature and working papers. Working papers are often timely and valid to use, but haven't gone through formal peer review. Anatomy of a Scholarly Article shows the typical sections of peer-reviewed literature.
Scopus is good for identifying and ranking key journals and highly-cited articles.
