Statistical materials in the IER library can be searched by Classification for Statistics and Country Code for Statistics.

We give the statistical country code for the target area of the statistics which including catalogs of statistics, manuals, and history of statistical systems. In principal we giving a code depend on the country where the area belongs now.

Not all codes are country name. There are codes for large area (ex. asia, europe, world...) and specific codes which based on element of geographical and historical. Most of the codes are made up of country names in English and written in small letters. No spacing when the country name is made up of more than two words.

How to use these codes:
