Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 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.   Essential Principles of Economics: A Hypermedia Text   URL: http://william-king.www.drexel.edu/top/prin/txt/EcoToC.html   Serving as a overview of economics for beginners, this site is based of the lecture notes of Roger Ashton McCain III, a professor of economics at Drexel University.

It integrates a textbook, a mini-lecture series, a graphical calculator, an animated drawing program, a spreadsheet, and an econometrics package. oo_Micro stands for object-oriented microeconomics. It uses object-oriented programming techniques in Java(tm)to represent economic models as graphical objects that can be drawn, manipulated, and animated directly on the web page by pointing and clicking with the mouse. The computer transparently performs the mathematical calculations in the background that are necessary to render and animate the graphs. This makes accurate mathematical modeling more accessible to undergraduates and MBA's while enabling them to graphically solve and apply fairly sophisticated economic models without requiring calculus.   1389 visits has been made through our site.   Intermediate Macroeconomics   URL: http://bobbyorr.gsia.cmu.edu/macro/   The global economy and the impact of international macroeconomic developments on financial markets and business.
