recessions

Data on U.S. recessions, past to present. Data include information on contraction,
 expansion, and cycle.

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.
