Courses include prerequisites, recommended textbooks, lecture slides, and assignments. Undergraduate and graduate programs.\n* [edX Economics](https://www.edx.org/course/subject/economics-finance) - Introductory topics, few prerequisites.\n* [Khan Academy: Economics](https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain) - Elementary topics.\n\n### Useful Materials\n\n* [Academic Search](https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=002720237717066476899:e55ib8o11ka) - Search across `.edu` and other educational domains. These materials are more reliable than the big Internet.\n* [Foundational Equations of Economics](http://economics.stackexchange.com/questions/35/what-are-the-foundational-equations-of-economics) - These equations show principles behind \"thinking like an economist\". Graduate textbooks put these equiations in context.\n* [IGM Economic Experts Panel](http://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel) - Top economists reflect on policy-related issues. Some answers contain useful details.\n* [AEA Resources for Economists](http://rfe.org/) - A list of useful links maintained by the American Economic Association.\n\n## Research\n\n### Portals\n\n* [RePEc](http://repec.org/) - Web services for economic researchers: bibliography, blog aggregator, new working papers, software.\n* [Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis: Web Services](https://research.stlouisfed.org/resources.html) - A list of helpful services.\n\n### Articles and Working Papers\n\n* [IDEAS RePEc](https://ideas.repec.org/) - The largest database of economics publications (2,000,000 items). Searching through papers is easier with Google: ``site:ideas.repec.org \u003csearch term\u003e``. Index sources mentioned below.\n* [NBER](http://nber.org/papers.html) - Working papers by major researchers. Many of these papers get published in peer-reviewed journal.\n* [SSRN Economics](http://ssrn.com/en/index.cfm/ern/) - Working papers, no journal publications.\n* [Google Scholar](http://scholar.google.com/) - Searching academic literature in general. Features author pages and citation counters. If you look for economic writings only, IDEAS would be more powerful.\n\n### Data\n\nDatasets\n\n* [FRED2](https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/) - 380,000 (macro) time series from 80 sources. Supports plugins for importing data into Excel, Stata, R, and others. Has a mobile app.\n* [World Bank Data](http://data.worldbank.org/) - International macro time series. Has data import plugins.\n* [IMF Data](http://www.imf.org/en/Data) - The standard reference for macro data.\n* [Quandl](https://www.quandl.com/) - Aggregate financial and economic data from multiple sources. Some data vendors sell their data via this service. Good integration with statistical software.\n* [MEDevEcon](https://sites.google.com/site/medevecon/devecondata) - Data related to development economics.\n* [Monetary Economics: Data Sources](https://sites.google.com/site/davesmant/various/data-sets-sources) - Overview of macro data sources.\n* [OFFSTATS](http://www.offstats.auckland.ac.nz/) - Links to official data sources by country and subject.\n\nSearch\n\n* [International Open Government Dataset Search](https://logd.tw.rpi.edu//node/9903) - Over 1,000,000 government datasets. When works, this service looks [like this](http://web.archive.org/web/20140815054106/http://logd.tw.rpi.edu/node/9903). Otherwise, you'll see a 403 error.\n* [Dataset Search Engine](https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=002720237717066476899:v2wv26idk7m) - Google-based search over 200 data sources, including those mentioned here. You can use Google [search operators](http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html) here.\n* [StackExchange Open Data](http://opendata.stackexchange.com/) - If you haven't found the data you were looking for, you can ask it here.\n* [Reddit /r/datasets](https://www.reddit.com/r/datasets) - One more place to request datasets.\n\n### Software\n\nWriting\n\n* [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) - Economists write in LaTeX because it handles mathematics and references better than Word or LibreOffice. If you write regularly, LaTeX is worth learning.\n  - [Beamer](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamer?lang=en) - A LaTeX class for presentations.\n  - [TikZ](http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/) - An extension for drawing graphs. A [how-to](http://cremeronline.com/LaTeX/minimaltikz.pdf) and a [manual](http://www.texample.net/media/pgf/builds/pgfmanualCVS2012-11-04.pdf).\n* [LyX](http://www.lyx.org/) - A free and simple editor for LaTeX.\n* [Zotero](https://www.zotero.org/) - Bibliography management. Also install (a) Zotero browser plugin to import papers from RePEc to your library; (b) Zotero-LyX plugin to cite literature easily.\n* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) - A version control system. Useful if you want to revert changes done months ago or collaborate with other authors. DropBox also has version control, but Git is more explicit. A [short intro](http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/). Or use [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/) if you like it simple.\n* [Mendeley](https://www.mendeley.com) - Bibliography management. Support synchronization on multiple plateforms: Mac, Windows, Ipad, Phone...\n\nComputing\n\n* [Stata](http://www.stata.com/) - An industry standard for statistical computations in economics. Free alternatives:\n  - [IPython](http://ipython.org/) - A Python-based environment. Econometric analysis is done with free packages: statsmodels, SciPy, NumPy, pandas.\n  - [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/) - An R-based environment. R is the standard language among statisticians, so the R repositories often contain specialized libraries not available in other languages.\n* [Matlab](http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/) - An industry standard for modeling and numerical optimization in economics. Free alternatives:\n  - [Octave](https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/)\n  - [Julia](https://julialang.org/) - High-level dynamic programming language designed to address the needs of high-performance numerical analysis and computational science.\n* [Mathematica](https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/) - Symbolic computations.
