Ikväll kollade jag lite på doktorandkursen The Politics of the Welfare State in an Era of Reform: Voters, Interest Groups, and Political Responsiveness som ges i sommar vid Universitetet i Oslo. I beskrivningen av kursen fanns en intressant sammanställning av databaser relevanta för välfärdsstatistik, vilken jag återger nedan. Kursen, med Jane Gingrich som föreläsare, verkar också intressant.
