This is a great reference for MS and PhD students.  It has an extensive list of economists and their main contributions to economics.  Economists are organized by the different schools of economics.  Check out the essays & surveys area for some in depth explanations of some topics.  There is also a mathematical appendix that is very useful.

Glossary of Some Economic Terms                    (http://www.sfb504.uni-mannheim.de/glossary/)

This page has a small glossary of terms commonly used in Finance, Economics, Statistics, etc.  Great resource, enjoy...

Statistics                                                             (http://www.chrisbilder.com)  

Dr. Chris Bilder teaches at the Department of Statistics at the University of Nebraska.  He is a remarkable teacher.  His class notes are absolutely impeccable and if you are lucky he'll have them online when you need them.  He usually posts his class notes to his website during the semester he teaches a class (look under the link for "Schedule").  But there are also some archives for classes taught in previous semesters.  So keep your eyes open.  His website also provides several useful links to statistics websites.

Bootstrapping                                                            (http://www.sfu.ca/~kkasa/middle.pdf)

This link leads you to a really good paper (Bootstrapping Student Understanding of What is Going On in Econometrics ) written by Peter Kennedy from Simon Fraser University.  He does a superb job of explaining what boostrapping is and why economics students have such a hard time figuring out econometrics.  And if you think his name sounds familiar, you are correct, he is the author of A Guide to Econometrics.

Study Tips for Economics Courses                                 (http://www.utexas.edu/student/utlc/handouts/1409.html)

This website has advice on how to tackle economic courses.  The authors make suggestions on how to take notes in class, read textbooks, prepare for exams, and take exams.  They also review some graphical concepts that are widely used in economics.  Although this is very basic information, it is useful to everyone.

Web-oriented Teaching Resources in Probability and Statistics http://www.hut.fi/Units/SAL/Teaching/Resources/ProbStat/table.html

This website has tons of resources on statistics: probability, distributions, regression, probability calculators, Java demos, etc.  Enjoy...

When I am stuck with some math theory, I sometimes end up looking for an answer in this website.  I just love it.  Although it is meant to support a mathematics software called Mathematica, it has a great database of topics in math.  All I have to say is WOW, I love it...

Linear Programming: GAMS Tutorial     (http://www.gams.com/docs/gams/Tutorial.pdf)

I found this one when I got stuck with the interpretation of some of the details provided in a GAMS output.  I know I used to know this stuff at some point in time but, as usual, I forget it when I don't see it for a long time.  So I searched for a quick tutorial that I could use as a refresher everytime I'm stuck (and since I'm a nice person, I decided to post the link on my website).  Can you tell I get stuck often?
