UAB economics professor Ted Bos, Ph.D., is saving students and businesses nationwide countless hours of research with his Web site, Economic Time Series Page [Economagic.com].

It provides quick and easy access to massive amounts of historical and current financial data, including housing statistics, interest rates and employment figures for many municipalities. Users can browse economic data from several sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve Board. And, the data can be converted to charts with one mouse click.

"I started it for my economics forecasting class. I wanted to quickly retrieve and visualize large amounts of economic data. The start-up costs were minimal, but the payoff for users is huge."
