A curated collection of links for economists, covering studying, research, data, software, discussions, and career resources.
Awesome Economics is a curated, community-maintained directory of high-quality links and resources for economists. It serves as a centralized hub for finding essential tools, datasets, academic papers, courses, and discussion platforms, addressing the problem of information fragmentation in the field. The list is periodically updated and welcomes contributions to keep it relevant.
Economics students, academic researchers, data analysts in economic fields, and professionals seeking to stay updated with tools and resources. It is particularly useful for those new to the field or looking to efficiently discover vetted materials.
It saves significant time by aggregating and categorizing the most important resources from across the web into one trusted list. Unlike a generic web search, it provides context and curation, ensuring links are reliable and relevant to the economics community.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Curates high-quality links from trusted sources like MIT OCW, FRED, and RePEc, saving time by centralizing essential tools, datasets, and courses in one place.
Welcomes user contributions through 'Links Sent by Readers' and email, helping keep the list relevant and expanding over time.
Divided into clear sections like Studying, Research, and Career, making it easy to navigate for economists at different stages.
Provides overviews of essential tools like LaTeX, Git, Stata, and R, including free alternatives and integration tips.
The list is only 'periodically updated,' so links may become outdated, and it lacks real-time curation for emerging tools or data.
As a plain GitHub README, users must manually browse or rely on browser search, making it less efficient for finding specific resources quickly.
Most entries are brief links with short descriptions, offering little guidance on how to effectively use the tools or datasets in practice.
