Preface

This site will include supplemental material to our regular course readings. Mostly this will be used to show you how we can use publicly available data to create tables and figures to help us understand and analyze the economy. In introductory courses, this material will accompany Taylor and Weerapana (2018) which will be the primary book for the course. We will also be using The CORE Team (2020c), and the other materials compiled by CORE including Economy, Society, & Public Policy (The CORE Team 2020b) and Doing Economics (The CORE Team 2020a) which act as useful comparisons to the more traditional material presented in Taylor and Weerapana (2018). For intermediate courses, the CORE resources will be utilized, along with Jones (2021).
