The PRS Group provides three products "Political Risk Services (PRS)," "International Country Risk Guide (ICRG)" and "Country Data Online(CDO)." And the KDI Central Library only subscribes to "Country Data Online (CDO)" via the internet. However, the Researcher Dataset (ICRG Table 3B) is accessible by searching the library catalog, not by connecting database.
Country Data is the source for current and historical risk ratings from both the International Country Risk Guide and the Political Risk Services rating systems. It includes current data and historical data (risk ratings and economic statistics) going back to 1984 with ratings of political risk, economic risk and financial risk for 140 developed, emerging, and frontier markets. Two-User Access is available at the same time.
