Macroeconomic Dashboard
Macroeconomic Dashboard is one of economic laboratory facilities administered by Faculty of Economic and Business University of Gadjah Mada since September 2012. This facility is supported by PT. Bank Mandiri Tbk.
Mission of Macroeconomic Dashboard is public education by providing data, analysis, information, or economic opinion without pretention. Its aims are to provide data for the whole civitas academica, to train students and alumnae in economic analysis, and to become an alternative medium for public to learn about economy.
Macroeconomic Dashboard comes as a connection between economic researches on a sophisticated journal but is distant with publics, and mainstream medium which tends to be instant-pragmatic but poses a huge impact on society.
In order to realize its missions and aims, Macroeconomic Dashboard’s outputs consist of CEIC Database service, data updates and economic analysis on the website, quarterly Indonesian Economic Review and Outlook (IERO) publication, and economic news via Twitter.
