The Livingston Survey: still useful after all these years Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Dean Croushore
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
The decisions of households, firms, and government agencies depend on forecasts of the overall economy. Large firms and the federal government often have the resources to hire their own economists to provide forecasts. But households, small firms, and local governments often depend on surveys of forecasters to get their information. In this article, Dean Croushore spotlights the Livingston Survey, which, even after 50 years, still provides useful forecasts of the economy.
