Supply Chain and Logistics

This week I expect we will be doing chapter 5.  All of this is useful in doing your paper– in fact I think it is the key chapter for this.

Don’t forget to turn in your  exam corrections if you want, if you have not on Friday.  Monday is the drop dead date.

As of right now 8 of you have signed up for a country for your paper due oct 10.  That is out of 56.  So we are scoring 14%.

Let’s get your choices in now!!

We can discuss the due date next week, but we can’t be too much later, since you need time for the second project.

I put some valuable links on the blogroll (left sidebar) under the ECO100 category. These are important for getting current and historical macroeconomic numbers, and also as a resource for discovering some of the methods used to acquire the data, which as we learned today is all important. I will add to these links as the course goes on.

• 19?? Flashback gives some historical data for a particular decade.
• BLS is the government’s bureau of labor statistics. Lots of info on employment.
• CIA Factbooks carry lots of information about almost any country in the world, and are a primary source of up-to-date information.
• OECD is the main source for economic data from its members.
• Minneapolis Fed has a lot of information about inflation and its measurement.
