Methodology
The Bureau of Economic & Asset Research at Berkeley has amassed data from 36 databases including over 3.7 million datasets and compiled an interactive charting tool to enable users to compare all manner of macroeconomic and financial indexes in a consolidated representation. The Interactive Charting tool allows users to apply transformations to datasets, chart different time series and periods for datasets, save images of charts created, and chart different styles of plots. The Interactive Charting tool is still under development and continues to add more data, so if you have any thoughts, ideas, or any issues please send us some feedback below the Interactive Charting tool.
