[Question] Data on FED and macroeconomy

Turned out, it’s devastating to search for time series of standard macro data as: money supply, savings, data on consumer basket across different classes is also missing.

I am surprised (this is really contradictory with common sense) of shortage of high-quality data in the US on the subject that important to make both research and decisions on monetary policy.

I will be grateful if less-wronger monetary policy fans or macroeconomists can help me here.

The idea behind my research is to find out how CBs and FED were deluting the value of the currency against a consumer basket and salaries, and how the basket changed over time due to this dilution, how it affected rate of savings.

The data I find necessary:

Velocity of money before abandoning golden standard.

Consumer basket—its cost and distribution among categories—time series. Great if not only the US.

Savings of households and their revenues.

Money supply. All money, reserves, cash and digital (created by commercial banks) flowing through the economy.

Central Bank reserve requirement—time series.


At the same time it would be altruistically-ineffective to hide the sources I have found.
