Ray Fair is coauthor of a standard economics textbook. Unfortunately, there is no free version of the book, but he does make several macroeconometric models available for free on his website. There is a very good free workbook to go along with the models. Elsewhere on his site you’ll find the class notes, including problem sets (no answers) for two of his classes.

From the site:

This part of the site brings the power of large scale macroeconometric analysis to anyone with access to the internet. It is a resource for business forecasters, government policy analysts, macroeconomic researchers, teachers, and students. You can:

Work with a U.S. macroeconometric model or a multicountry econometric model to forecast, do policy analysis, and examine historical episodes. For example, you can change government policy variables and examine the estimated effects of the changes.
