Not really tbh. The news websites often have some decent things (like SMH, AFR etc.).The RBA has some good things but I hate the layout of ABS so I never use that. The economist has interesting reads. My dad though sends me these reports that he gets at work from analysts from Citibank etc. and they often have some nice things.Any websites in particular?
Does your dad work in finance/as a financial analyst? Because my dad can probably get these things too... if I ask him haha.Not really tbh.

The Economist has a lot of content on international affairs which isn't really economic in nature. Keep that in mind.Does your dad work in finance/as a financial analyst? Because my dad can probably get these things too... if I ask him haha.
I don't really collect much economic data as of yet, since it's not really a ncessity in Year 11 - but the data that I have found has been from:
- ABS
- Other websites such as those from Japan (when comparing economic data for Australia and Japan).
- Tobacco in Australia website when I was writing an essay discussing the price elasticity of different products.
I don't read 'The economist' or newspapers (at least anything economic) - I should get into reading them.
Nah, he's a finance manager so he's not really directly involved in that stuff but he gets them anyway which is useful.Does your dad work in finance/as a financial analyst? Because my dad can probably get these things too... if I ask him haha.

Yeah this. Often the economist doesn't have those one line stats or whatever that you can throw into an essay (especially since it rarely has anything on Australia) but it is very useful to get an appreciation of global economic forces.The Economist has a lot of content on international affairs which isn't really economic in nature.

The Economist/EIU should have statistics on their website, you just need to delve a bit deeper.Yeah this.

Depends realistically on how high you are aiming. For a decent performance, you'd want to know current indicators in Aust and trends such as eco growth, unemployment, CAD etc. To penetrate very high B6, you want stats for everything literally. The first topic is called The Global Economy and that is obviously focussed on international factors but its nice to look at the course holistically and not just four seperate topics.What Year 12 topic/s require heaps of stats? And what topic/s focus on the international economy too (and consequently require international stats)?
Hmm - well I wouldn't mind that high band 6Depends realistically on how high you are aiming.

You may know economics, but your English.....Bloomberg + The Economist + AFR (whenever I get my hands on it) is the best
Protip: Go to your local library and ask them if they can give you all of their newspapers before they throw them out. I don't collect them any more because it takes too long but until around July, I'd go to the library every month and just get the previous months Herald, Australian and Fin Review and then just scan them for any dazzling economics stats or examples or whatever.Bloomberg + The Economist + AFR (whenever I get my hands on it) is the best
