Here
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1B7HMagvLAHhKrUTZQBZ1WT4xe32C8eSY>is
the link to the Datasets document I was telling you about.

After the table of contents and a table for taxonomy/topics, there is a
section called 'Introductions'.  I've completed the first part, "Macro
Data".  Each of the dataset names is a link to the page on nber.org
where you can find the data and whatever intro is available.  As I said,
some have narratives, some are just folders with a README file, and some
are external links that we don't need to worry about for now.  I've
noted the latter as just <external link>.  Here's my thoughts on
assignments, by dataset group:

Industry, Productivity, and Digitization Data (8) - David
International Finance and Trade Data (13) - Grace
Individual Data (19) - Maggie
Healthcare Data -- Hospitals, Providers, Drugs, and Devices (59) - John
& Grace
Demographic and Vital Statistics (15) - Maggie
Patent and Scientific Papers Data(3) - John
Other Data(28) - David

It tried to level-set the assignments but it doesn't quite work. Grace,
when you finish with International Finance and Trade Data, you could
help John with Healthcare by starting at the bottom of the list and
working your way up.

Let me know if you have any questions - I'm sure there will be stuff
that is challenging so don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Tim
