I need at least 25 years of economic data (any 25+ years is fine) on
a country that is NOT the U.S. or U.K.  Any other country is just
fine.  I need 3 series of data.  I need Money Supply (M), I need CPI,
and I need Yt.  I'm guessing that they will be this way anyway, but I
need the 25 years of data to be in some kind of normalized form.  For instance,
the data series' could all be in 1985 dollars or even 1933 dollars. 
It doesn't matter what year the dollars are in, just as long the data
is all normalized to a single year.

Hello.

Here's 25 years' worth of data for Canada.  I selected 1949-1973
because the CPI is normalized to 100 for 1949 in the source from which
I obtained the data.

YEAR   M        CPI       Yt 
1949  8265     100.0      16800
1950  8763     103.7      18491
1951  8759     113.5      21640
1952  9307     116.2      24588
1953  9789     115.8      25833
1954  9931     117        25918
1955  10933    117        28528
1956  11414    118.9      32058
1957  11489    122.6      33513
1958  12545    125.8      34777
1959  13210    127.3      36846
1960  13921    128.5      38359
1961  14165    129.3      39646
1962  15208    131        42927
1963  15981    133        45978
1964  17202    134.7      50280
1965  18996    137.4      55364
1966  20441    141.9      61828
1967  22784    146.8      66409
1968  25749    152.9      72586
1969  28492    158.8      79815
1970  30081    164.5      85685
1971  35156    168.4      94450
1972  40947    175.1      105234
1973  47035    187.9      123560

M: Money Supply (Average); CPI: Consumer Price Index (Actual) ; Yt = GNP
(M & Yt in millions)

Source:Royal Commission Brief APPENDIX "A" STATISTICAL
TABLE II - PREDICTED AND ACTUAL CONSUMER PRICE INDICES, 1926-1982
http://fn2.freenet.edmonton.ab.ca/~martinh/roycom3.htm

-----------

Note that the CPI above is, of course, normalized (i.e, 1949=100), but
M & Yt are apparently the unadjusted actual figures.

Of course, it's easy enough to normalize everything to 1949 Canadian
dollars if you wish.  I adjusted the numbers in accordance with the
CPI by using a spreadsheet to normalize M & Yt based on 1949 dollars.

Here are the adjusted figures:


YEAR    M       CPI      Yt
1949    8265    100     16800
1950    8450    103.7   17831
1951    7717    113.5   19066
1952    8009    116.2   21160
1953    8453    115.8   22308
1954    8488    117     22152
1955    9344    117     24383
1956    9600    118.9   26962
1957    9371    122.6   27335
1958    9972    125.8   27645
1959    10377   127.3   28944
1960    10833   128.5   29851
1961    10955   129.3   30662
1962    11609   131     32769
1963    12016   133     34570
1964    12771   134.7   37327
1965    13825   137.4   40294
1966    14405   141.9   43572
1967    15520   146.8   45238
1968    16840   152.9   47473
1969    17942   158.8   50261
1970    18286   164.5   52088
1971    20876   168.4   56087
1972    23385   175.1   60099
1973    25032   187.9   65758

---------

search strategy:
site:ca, "money supply", cpi, index, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969

I hope this helps. If anything is unclear, please use the "request
