where do i find economic data

I can find the TMS (True Money Supply) statistic on this site by simply google searching it. Does Mises also provide other data, perhaps for instance graphing other measures against TMS?

Thanks!

I found this page of economic data from a link on the, um, home page…

Shouldn’t be too hard to import the data into a spreadsheet and graph it since they cite the sources.

You are probably going to want some statistical software like SAS, Eviews, or Stata. You can also use Excel but it isn’t as useful. I use Stata and found that you can find lots of good data sets from here.

a good stats application like SAS or SPSS doesn’t come cheaply!

How about free as in beer?

wow. i’ll have to check that out!

Currently at work I use SPSS with a network license. The network license is incompatible with our VPN, which means essentially that when I’m working remotely, I can’t use SPSS. If I can load one of our ascii files into that app, that would be a lifesaver.

I never miss a chance to pimp the GNU…

unfortunately, without a simple button to “download now!” I’m completely lost with file formats, operating systems, and terminology that I don’t understand (e.g., .TAR, “compiler”, linux emulator DLLs, etc.)

This page looks like the winders binary.

It should have everything you need in the install file, you just need that other stuff if you want to build it from source.

Well, I should say hopefully since I don’t really know how the whole winders linux emulation works since I just use linux.

I’ll check it out - thanks for the tip.
