Australian Real Time Macroeconomic Database &
Research
Associate Professor Kalvinder Shields (CAMA) would like to recommend the Australian Real Time Macroeconomic Database and Research. This website provides a macroeconomic database for Australia which includes measures of GDP, its components, prices, and key monetary and labour market statistics over the last fifty years as published and revised in real time. The vintages of data are collated from various sources and accommodate multiple definitional changes, providing a comprehensive description of the macroeconomic environment as experienced by Australian policy- and decision-makers.
The database is freely available for use and includes an introductory overview and a background for researchers. The project has been funded by the ARC (ARC DP0988112). - The 50 influential articles published by the
