Data are the raw materials economists use to make sense of the economy through modeling and other forms of analysis. Despite the critical importance of data to economists and analysts, most academic programs spend little time instructing on the topics of where to find and how to use economic data. NABE’s Certificate in Economic Measurement fills in the gaps left by these academic programs.
