Presentation of all the Insee collections and free access to the content
Four-page summaries of initial results of Insee surveys and studies. All major economic and social topics of current interest are discussed in concise texts illustrated with charts and tables.
Every issue reports recent, previously unpublished data on individual topics.
The publications in the Insee Conjoncture collection are based on the wealth of statistical production by the Insee:
all economic tendency surveys on households and businesses, the main economic indicators (prices, industrial production, etc.), France’s quarterly accounts, economic outlook indicators (turnover by sector, employment, etc.).
Abstracts of analyses conducted by the Insee, usually published in the form of working documents, articles or reports.
The Insee Résultats collection gives you access to the most recent results for a given source or survey, in the form of detailed tables, as well as access to the methods and concepts used.
This publication is intended for specialists wishing to carry out their own analyses working directly with downloadable data. This collection is available in two sub-series: Economy and Society.
The Insee Références collection offers a periodic overview of the big social and economic issues. The data and commentaries are based on public statistical sources and analysis methods.
Each publication generally comprises:
- an overview;
- reports and original studies on a particular aspect of the publication's main theme;
- double-page thematic fact sheets presenting the key data.
The working documents present the initial results of technical studies. They are published online to elicit discussion and to gather reactions before the final publication.
The collection also includes the results of detailed statistical evaluations which are not available on other media. All these documents are published under the responsibility of their authors and not that of the Insee.

This series also serves as a medium for dissemination of theoretical texts and conference proceedings.
