US Federal Reserve

Overview

The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. The Fed is most notably responsible for US monetary policy and promoting the stability of the US financial system. The Fed also promotes consumer protection through research and analysis of consumer trend as well as the administration of consumer laws and regulation.

Example topics covered:

• Outstanding monthly consumer credit

• Monthly industrial production and capacity utilization rates covering manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities

• Quarterly assets and liabilities by sector and financial instruments

• Quarterly balance sheets, including net worth, for households, nonprofits and non-financial businesses

• Daily commercial paper issuance rates and volumes

• Monthly owned and managed outstanding receivables at financial services companies

Additional datasets from the Federal Reserve (e.g. Foreign Exchange Rates, Selected Interest Rates, and Money Stock Measures) are included in Cybersyn's aggregate indicators table here.

Description

EAV Model: All Cybersyn products follow the EAV (entity, attributes, value) model with a unified schema. Entities are tangible objects (e.g. geography, company) that Cybersyn provides data on. All timeseries' dates and values that refer to the entity are included in a timeseries table. Descriptors of the timeseries are included in an attributes table. Data is joinable across all Cybersyn products that have a GEO_ID. Refer to Cybersyn Concepts for more details.
