Use economics information to give you a better view of the big picture that is the US economy. From recessions to depressions and more, be knowledgeable to the vernacular of the industry experts, and be prepared to jump into any conversation. Being knowledgeable about information on economics can not only be a great conversation starter, but it can also lead to a well paying career path.
Economics resource information is easy to come by, from online resources to many industry publications that offer you free trial subscriptions. Knowing which one is right for you our your business interest is a different story, though.
To make the most of the available economics information:
1. Start with general economics resource information to give you a basic knowledge of the field.
2. Progress into up-to-date magazine economics guides to continue with your research.
3. Graduate into economics reports and economic research to give you an in-depth look at deeper, more complicated topics.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Start your economics research with reports and data
Begin your economics information search with general economics research and information. Go with government and widely recognized organizations for information.
I recommend: Check out the economics industry reports data from the National Bureau of Economic Research, which was founded in 1920. Take a look at the Economic Data - FRED from Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Find data and research from The World Bank Group. Look for even more economic research from the American Institute for Economic Research.
Purchase an industry magazine as your next economics guide
Use magazines as economic research information resources. Many of them offer free trial issues before you invest in a subscription.
I recommend: Sign up for four free trial issues of The Economist. Purchase a subscription to Dollars & Sense. Go for four trial issues of BusinessWeek magazine for the latest economics reports. Check out SmartMoney magazine. Their online version carries a wide variety of info about economics.
Use industry journals as your next economics resource
Take advantage of the many in-depth economic research papers to give you an inside look at the economics research of others.
I recommend: Search for info about economics from publications through the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service. Take advantage of Fed in Print, which is a comprehensive index to Federal Reserve economic research publications. Check out the research publications of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Consider the wide variety of economics research publications from the Federal Reserve of Dallas.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Consider submitting your own economics research paper or article to any of the many industry publications. Just spend a few seconds looking for the particular publication's writing guidelines. If you can't find them, call or email and inquire.
