Bloomberg + The Economist + AFR (whenever I get my hands on it) is the best

bloomberg businessweek?

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.

ahahaha this

thanks, will try that

Lol I should probs start reading something besides The Economist, Bulmer and ABS for HSC Economics. Maybe Fin Review/Herald might be good.

School library stocks EcoData, so that's good.

The UBS daily economics briefing is pretty good as well

 

[townie]

but I hate the layout of ABS so I never use that.

Once you get the hang of the website it isn't that bad to use but it does take some getting used to. That vein said the ABS site is really about the data, not the commentary, but still a trove of information.

As for me - at work we have a purpose built factiva database that pulls any article from major metro newspapers on house prices
Then there's the RBA website (especially the statement on monetary policy)
Plus a few banks and housing associations

Edit: I realize this is an HSC thread but meh still applies in the real world

 

[kwu1]

The Australian Financial Review, RBA, ABS, WTO and IMF.

+ of course Ross Gittins SMH

I think its more important to know the TREND rather than the statistic. Know your basic stats (Try using TheEconomist) and know the trend (has it gone UP or DOWN) ... Rubrics ask for examples of either statistics, models or theory so everything you write doesnt have to have statistics. One paragraph may be stats, the next may have an economic model, the next may have a critic!

This is really important any economic issue and policy response question. Need to look at the trend! Especially in stimulus Q's.
