<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I’m working with an econometrics professor who is looking for “sites/databases with simple user interfaces to download finance data, cross-country macroeconomic series, US geographic areas with info on income,
 pollution, etc., and other datasets you might know of that have a good mix of categorical and quantitative variables.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">She adds, “The American Community Survey is nice, but it have very few quantitative variables. The [Mintel] marketing dataset that one of my students used last fall was good, except that the data could not
 be analyzed other than by created cross-tabs.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>
