This site, meant to accompany a text on european economics, is a tutorial site providing 1) a "road map" complete with text and graphs showing how the demand side (keynesian cross, markets, mundell-fleming, and ultimately aggregate demand) and supply side (production function, labor market, solow growth model, and ultimately aggregate supply) fit together to form the dad-sas model, 2) interactive tutorials of the keynesian-cross, solow growth model, mundell-fleming, and dad-sas model which include guided exercises that lead you through parameter manipulations designed to illustrate the important properties of the different models 3) a links section which follows the chapters of the text for which this site is an accompaniment.

IS-LM Tutorial - http://www.oberlin.edu/~sthacker/project/start.html

A very interesting interactive tutorial about the IS/LM curves.

The web resources section includes a "working empirical study [that] analyses the effects of demand and supply shocks in five countries around the world." (Chip Lontai)

WebEc is a library of free information in economics on the WWW. (Patrick Aragon)

Economic Contrarian Update - http://thewfn.com/

The ramblings of a deluded wannabe economist? Or the hard-hitting truths of an economic curmudgeon? Regardless of which is true, we should be able to either confirm or refute the arguments in this column with our newly acquired macroeconomic knowledge. Shouldn't we? (Robin Taylor)

The Dismal Scientist http://www.dismal.com/

An excellent web site with data, thoughts (both national and international)and indicators on the economy. One of the most popular sites on the web. Site has good layout and design. (R. Case)

(David Jarrat)

Dr. Ed Yardeni's Network http://www.yardeni.com/

Site also includes graphs on key economic indicators for many countries. (R. Case)

General Economics Webpage - http://www.oswego.edu/~economic/journals.htm

This is a good all purpose economics webpage. It provides links to economic journals. These journals may or may not have links to other sites. Many of the journals simply provide a homepage with subscription information, while others provide a variety of links to other economic webpages. (P. Aragon)

The World Population Clock - http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/ipc/popclockw

This site extrapolates the World's population from historical data, and provides links to other sites with population data. Even if nobody manages to use any of the data in their projects, it is fun (and perhaps a bit scary) to look at some of the figures on this site, e.g., worldwide there are estimated to be 4.2 births per second, and 1.7 deaths per second, with a net gain of 2.5 people per second. (Robin Taylor)

US Department of Labor's Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) http://www.dol.gov/dol/ilab/

US AID Site – http://www.info.usaid.gov/regions/lac/sesd/econ.htm

The CIA's World Factbook - http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/

Pretty much as it sounds, with information about every country in the world (as far as I can tell). The site includes (among other things) a short summary of each countries economy and economic indicators. Perhaps the most interesting part of the site is the CIA's comments on illicit drug exports. (Robin Taylor)

Economic Data Library - http://www.ntu.edu.sg/library/statdata.htm#sd-int

This is an enormous site of Statistical Data Locators. It primarily divides the information by continent and it also provides links to other sources of macroeconomic data. This would be a great place to start off most searches. (Michael Brotchner)

The Phillips Curve - http://www.swcollege.com/bef/tucker/tucker_principles/the_phillips.html

Basically an assignment that provides links to reference historical inflation and unemployment data for the U.K. to plot the expected Phillips curve, and then provides a link that gives the actual inflation rate for the U.K., in order that the predicted relationship may be compared to what actually happened (that hindsight for which economists are so famous!). (Chip Lontai)

Allegiance Capital - http://www.allegiancecapital.com/sctn4h.html

Discussion of NAIRU, Okun's law, and the Phillips curve, and how they interact, specifically in relation to the current trend of growth, low inflation, and low unemployment in the u.s. (Chip Lontai)

Lecture notes (by Massimo De Angelis) summarizing the concept of the Phillips Curve. Pretty involved synopsis. (Chip Lontai)
