<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This is outside my area of expertise. Does anyone have any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Much appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
