UK Economy Databank
3rd January 2018
Thoughts often turn to teaching macro in the New Year (or revising it!) and it's always helpful to have up-to-date data to use. I have put together an excel spreadsheet with over 20 data series on the UK economy covering a wide range of metrics including the gini coefficient and output gap.
You can download this for free from the Economics store - simply add it to your cart and checkout for free - the resource (which we'll update periodically) will be in your mytutor2u resources.
The data series in the spreadsheet cover:
- Actual and Potential GDP
- Consumer credit
- Current account of the BoP
- Economic Inactivity Rate
- Fiscal balance
- Gini Coefficient
- Gross government debt
- House prices
- Income per capita in the EU
- Inflation
- Labour productivity
- Mortgage lending
- Net labour migration
- Output Gap
- Per capita income / spending
- Productivity Gap
- Real GDP
- Real Weekly Earnings
- Savings Ratio
- Stering versus $ and Euro
- Trade weighted sterling
- Unemployment rate
- Wage Phillips Curve
