The following resource list is idiosyncratic.
It is primarily for graduate students and faculty in the
AU Economics Department.
Rather than read this page, you probably should jump directly
to
Bill Goffe's Resources for Economists on the Internet.
Goffe's document is by far the best jumping off point to surf the Internet for everything relating to economics.
But, if you must linger here, the following links will
give you a taste of what is out there.
