The UO Reports on the Oregon Economy
|
|
Since the success of its first annual Oregon Economic Forum in October of last year, the UO Department of Economics has continued to provide a monthly economic analysis to the state with the University of Oregon Index of Economic Indicators (UO Index).
Tim Duy, an economist and director of the Oregon Economic Forum, prepares the index by measuring the Oregon labor market, the Oregon construction industry, and Oregon shipping activity, as well as national consumer confidence, manufacturing orders and financial market conditions. The analysis uses the same methodology employed by The Conference Board, an independent, not-for-profit research organization, in the computation of the U.S. Leading Index.
The Oregon Economic Forum, a project of the UO College of Arts and Sciences and Department of Economics, is a continuing series of initiatives designed to serve the state. The 2005 forum will be held at the World Forestry Center in Portland on October 18. For more information and historical reports, see http://econforum.uoregon.edu.
