The Dismal Scientist
This site, part of
Moody's Economy.com offers a broad range of economic
analysis and data. A major focus is the current state of the U.S. and
other economies and the near-term outlook. They list information on
roughly 100 data releases, and they offer commentary on economic
events. Much of the information is part of their fee-based service;
however, the fees can be waived for classroom use. Those looking for
freely available data might be interested in their
FreeLunch.com .
