d

Answer to Question 2

Secondary data compiled outside the U.S. have the same limitations as domestic secondary data. However, international researchers should watch for certain pitfalls that are frequently associated with foreign data and cross-cultural research. First, data may simply be unavailable in certain countries. Second, the accuracy of some data may be called into question. This is especially likely with official statistics that may be adjusted for the political purposes of foreign governments. Finally, although economic terminology may be standardized, various countries use different definitions and accounting and recording practices for many economic concepts.
