Try any of the search suggestions below in EBSCO, ProQuest, and/or ABI/INFORM

  • financial markets "economic growth" 
  • financial markets "healthy economy"

(The quotation marks tell the database to search for the words together and narrow your search results)

  • how do financial markets contribute to economic growth? (This is a natural language search)

Hint: Subject headings can be found below the article information. This is a great place to look for other words to use as keywords. See the example below:

This assignment requires you to locate scholarly sources. Some directions suggest limiting your search to peer reviewed journals. Keep in mind that limiting to peer reviewed journals may make your research more challenging.

​​​​​​Is there a difference between peer reviewed articles and scholarly articles?

  • Peer reviewed articles are simply a subset of scholarly (academic) articles; they are extremely evidence-based focused, topic-specific, and narrow.
  • Sources do not have to be peer reviewed in order to be academic/scholarly/credible.
