REMI Webinar: Economic Forecasting Uncertainty on the U.S. Economies

REMI is hosting a webinar on Economic Forecasting Uncertainty on the U.S. Economies on Wednesday, September 9^th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly interfered with normal economic activity across the nation.  These interruptions have also created significant economic forecasting challenges and constrained the ability of governments to think critically about long-term solutions.  This webinar will discuss the numerous obstacles brought on by the current outbreak and how they have impaired planning procedures across the country.  Chief Economist Chris Christopher, Jr., PhD, CBE from the New York State Division of the Budget will analyze the economic forecasting uncertainty on the national and sub-national economies since the first two months of the year, drawing upon various economic forecasting surveys, data revisions, and high-frequency indicators.  REMI’s Peter Evangelakis, PhD, will provide overviews of state level responses to the pandemic and descriptions of the methodological approaches that can be used when examining the uncertainty surrounding economic forecasting using the REMI model.
