Business, Commerce, Economy : Haiti

The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning Haiti is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form.  One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Haiti is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/subject/economy.html). For banking information, see specific citations below, or the general pages of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta: Latin America Research Group, Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund for economic and other information concerning Haiti and other countries of the world. Readers may also wish to consult the Library of Congress' Business Reference Services (http://www.loc.gov/rr/business/) site, a useful starting point for conducting research in all major business subjects, including industry information, commerce, statistics, banking, insurance, economics, finance, investment, and marketing. Note especially their page on Multi-Regional Internet Business Resources. The wealth of published books available on this subject exceeds the offerings of the online materials on the World Wide Web. Libraries, and in particular The Library of Congress Online Catalog, offers a wide bibliography of such published works on Business subjects. One need only search the appropriate Library of Congress Subject Heading with the relevant country. The Business Reading Room web page offers an example of such subject headings combined with History at : http://www.loc.gov/rr/business/guide/sharp13.html#heading.
