- Abstract
No history of the St. Louis Fed would be complete without a chapter on its leadership in providing econ - omic data for the public. Today, this long-standing commitment to data service is encapsulated in one name: FRED®. FRED, Federal Reserve Economic Data, is the St. Louis Fed's main economic database. It is used by hundreds of thousands of economists, other researchers, market analysts, journalists, teachers, students, and members of the general public. FRED began about 20 years ago as a modest service provided by pre-Internet technology. Since then, it has continued to flourish and expand significantly in size and scope, usability and functionality, and number of users. It is known and valued around the world in many different ways by people who care about the numbers driving today's regional, national, and international econ - omies. FRED data have been incorporated into textbooks, blogs, social media, and research papers.
