FRED-SD: State-Level Databases for Macroeconomic Research and Forecasting

FRED-SD is a large macroeconomic database designed for the empirical analysis of state-level data. The datasets of monthly and quarterly observations are updated in real-time through the FRED database. They are publicly accessible, facilitating the replication of empirical work, and they relieve the researcher of the task of incorporating data changes and revisions. The data are also "cleaned" and missing values or vintages identified.

The accompanying working paper and the data appendix describe the collection and cleaning methods as well as a number of applications.

Correction: In the paper, nominal personal income (OTOT) and the FHFA house price index (STHPI) are described as available at a monthly frequency (see Table 1, page 5); in fact, they are both quarterly series. Thank you to Will Ensor for catching this.

We present the data in two formats: by state and by series.

In the "By State" format, tabs correspond to states and columns to series. 
Researchers interested in comparing a cross-section of data within a state can use this format. 

In the "By Series" format, tabs correspond to series and columns to states.
Researchers interested in comparing a single data series across states can use this format. 

Note that each of the formats has the same data; the only difference is the organization of the data.
