IAS 107 Problem Set 1

Due at the start of lecture on Th Jan 27:

20110118 IAS 107 pset1.pdf

As I said, this is a combination listen-to-lecture and data-scavenger-hunt problem set.

Read the assigned chapters in the textbook, look at the inside front and back covers, listen to the lectures, browse the Federal Reserve Economic Data website http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/ and browse through the "Job Openings and Labor Turnover" and the "Employment and Population: Household Survey" data, and browse the Gapminder Website http://www.gapminder.org/world/, and you will do fine.

Other problem sets will involve model-building and computation.
