5.0 General Interest

5.1 The Dismal Scientist

  [macro and regional data with analysis plus general commentary]

  This site, part of "Regional Financial Associates," a consulting
  firm, bills itself as "The Best Free Lunch on the Web." On the macro
  side, they offer not only current releases of many macro series, but
  also analysis of each release, and analyses of the economy in general
  on a monthly basis. They do the same for regional data. They offer
  nearly 130 series on the states, and 60 on 257 metropolitan areas. In
  a nice twist, you can sort states and metropolitan areas by these
  series (surprisingly interesting). They also offer analyses in the
  "Thoughts" section; current sections include the Asian crisis,
  financial markets, industry analysis, regional, and the U.S. economy.
  There are also macro and regional forecasts, and finally, there is a
  useful dictionary and calendar of data releases.

*  5.2 About.com

  [topical focus (nice on new econ material on the Internet)]

  This economics guide, run by John Irons, is part of the About.com web
*  site (formerly the Mining Company), which provides "expert guides
  to help you find/learn/share" information on the Internet (there are
  several hundred guides, typically in areas of general interest). This
  particular guide addresses two "markets:" very topical subjects, and
  general interest (of course, much of this is of interest to
  professional economists). It is updated several times a month, and
  does a good job of covering new economic events on the Internet. For
  instance, there is a section dealing with economics articles in
  on-line magazines ("Econ in Online Mags"), and newly added economic
  resources on the Internet ("Net Finds"). There are also short essays
  and reviews on topical areas. Finally, there are sections dealing
  with less topical areas as well: "Books, Economics Community, Data,
  Government, News, Newsletter, Archives, Organizations, Resources, and
  Special Topics."

5.3 Dr. Ed Yardeni's Economics Network

  [macro and international charts and analysis]

  Ed Yardeni is chief economist of Deutsche Morgan Grenfell (North
  America). His site offers a wealth of analysis and data (much of the
  later in a very convenient form). It includes "Weekly Economic
  Analyses" ("explore the latest economic and financial controversies")
  and "Weekly Economic Briefings" ("focus on a key issue each week").
  The most recent versions are restricted to customers of his firm. He
  also offers "Topical Studies," which cover most any economic topic.
  Other material of interest includes macro forecasts of Deutsch Morgan
  Grenfell, stock market valuation information, many "Chart Rooms" with
  data from markets, the U.S., and the global economy (they are
  remarkably insightful and well chosen). Other areas of interest
  include "Slide Shows" (of financial and economic charts), a section
  on monetary and fiscal policy, and demography and marketing. In the
  "Center for CyberEconomics," the interplay between economics and
  computing is examined. The current focus is the Year 2000 computer
  problem, which Yardeni thinks has a better than even chance of
  causing a recession in 2000. Finally, there is a area of links to
  useful Internet tools and sites. Almost all the data and analysis is
  in PDF format.
