Macro Data Implementations

Anyone have examples of using macro data in models either as params, assumptions or drivers?

My current research seeks corporate debt susceptible to distress under tightening credit conditions (expected through 2019 possibly to 2021 per FOMC announcement, I may be wrong) ,analyzes the companies cash and asset position prior to examining debt terms and conditions. Then, value the elasticity of their product/service under conditions of broad economic distress (systemic risk, unemployment breaks 5.8%).

I am new to programming / writing code and trading and excited to share thoughts as code!
