aluminum_premiums

A near daily data set on the price of aluminum premiums (USD/MT) for LME
 in the U.S., Western Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. I like these
 data as illustrative of some of the shortsightedness of the aluminum tariffs
 that Donald Trump announced in March 2018. The tariffs had no discernible
 effect on manufacturing employment or earnings, but they created a supply shock
 that made aluminum more expensive.

datasets

This is a collection of various kinds of data with broad uses for teaching.
My students, and academics like me who teach the same topics I teach, should find
this useful if their teaching workflow is also built around the R programming
language. The applications are multiple but mostly cluster on topics of statistical
methodology, international relations, and political economy.
