FREDcast: Getting started with macroeconomic time series data
https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2019/09/a-lesson-on-time-series-to-get-you-started-with-fredcast/
Choose one macroeconomic data analysis project of your interest. Follow the instructions carefully to download the data and answer the research questions. The deadline for the project is May 2 in class. Please turn in the hardcopy and email the digital copy in a single file (PDF version is preferred) to the bichen@barnard.edu and mjaimesb@barnard.edu
The email subject must be BC3033 RP#: Student Name. Once you email your project report, avoid any revision and resubmission. Please double-check everything and send me the final version.
The grade for each project depends on the effort, quality, and neatness of the final project report. I expect all research projects to follow requirements and document information. Answer the research questions in the report and provide the following information in the appendix: 1) a detailed explanation of applicable formula and calculation to each question; 2) a detailed explanation of the relevant spreadsheet functions and each argument you input; 3) print out all data and graphs for each question; 4) useful findings and comments regarding the questions. (Failing to meet these requirements will cost you several points.)
