Omani Macroeconomic Data for Shock Transmission Analysis, Early 2000s to 2026

Quarterly data covering the early 2000s through early 2026, used to examine how external shocks transmit to the Omani economy under a U.S. dollar peg. The dataset contains macroeconomic series for Oman, external variables, and trade data. It was created by Meghdad Rahimian for a study using Local Projections as the empirical method.

Strengths

• Data covers a substantial time range from the early 2000s to early 2026
• Specifically designed for replication of a defined econometric study using Local Projections
• Includes multiple data types: domestic macroeconomic series, external variables, and trade data

Limitations
