Page: 1 2 Economagic: Economic Time Series Page   URL: http://www.EconoMagic.com/   This website is made by Ted Bos of University of Alabama, at Birmingham. This page is meant to be a comprehensive site of free, easily available economic time series data useful for economic research, in particular economic forecasting. This site (set of web pages) was started in 1996 to help students in an Applied Forecasting class. The idea was to give students easy access to large amounts of data, and to be able to quickly get charts of that data. There are more than 100,000 time series for which data and custom charts can be retrieved. Though the greatest utility of this site is the vast number of economic time series, and the easily modified charts of that same data, an overlooked facility of great utility is the availability of Excel files for all series. The majority of the data is USA data. The core data sets involve US macroeconomic data (that is, for the whole US), but the bulk of the data is employment data by local area -- state, county, MSA, and many cities and towns. A subscription allows a user to use the on-site programs that provide mechanical forecasts for any time series. These time series can be those freely available on this site, any series that the user pastes to the download area, or any series that the user has negotiated with Economagic to provide or maintain. The price of an annual subscription is US$200, or US$120 for six months.   4626 visits has been made through our site.   Global Financial Data Home Page   URL: http://www.globalfindata.com/   This impressive collection of historical global financial data stretches from the years 1264 to 2000.

Governments and international agencies are increasingly interested in the rankings of countries in terms of their output for purposes of international comparisons. Academic and private sector interests continue to explore alternative measures for comparison, and such direct uses as assessing the relative costs of setting up a business in different countries, or legal and insurance settlements in different currencies. A number of PPP measures have been calculated, from which are derived different results for inter-country price levels and the reciprocal volume or real comparisons. PPPs as inter-country deflators are preferable to the exchange rate based comparisons on both conceptual and empirical grounds. The paper focuses on differences in the Canada/US comparisons using the multilateral and bilateral studies of the OECD-EUROSTAT PURCHASING Power Parity Programme, and touches on the results obtained through the much broader-based World PENN Tables. It's easy to read this paper.   887 visits has been made through our site.   Chicago Board of Trade: World's Largest Futures and Options Exchange   URL: http://www.cbot.com/   The Chicago Board of Trade is one of the world's leading futures and options exchange and also one of the world's largest futures and options trading facility.   876 visits has been made through our site.   The Heritage Foundation   URL: http://www.heritage.org/   It is a tremendous resource with extensive articles, publications, lectures and conferences on everything from Asian studies and foreign policy, to tax reform,national security and index of Economic Freedom.
