Abstract:
Even in what seems like a superficially fluctuating economy, markets move logically as the sum of macroeconomic data. However, the impact of each type of data varies dramatically, making an attempt at incorporating all the data in a model useless. My project examines which types of data have the greatest impact, how the data are interrelated, and the relationship of the effects of the data on equity, credit, and debt markets.
