The ConferenceBoardLeadingEconomicIndex is an United States American economicleading indicator intended to forecast future economic activity. It is calculated by The ConferenceBoard , a non governmental organization , which determines the value of the index from the values of ten key Variable mathematics variables . These variables have historically turned downward before a recession and upward before an Economic expansion expansion . The single index value composed from these ten variables has generally proved capable of predicting recessions over the past 50 years, but in most cases it has been known to falsely predict recessions which did not occur. ref name guide The United States Department of Labor s monthly report on the unemployment rate, average hourly earnings and the average workweek hours from the Employment Situation report The United States Department of Labor s weekly report on first time claims for state unemployment insurance The United States Census Bureau s monthly consumer goods and materials report from the Preliminary Report on Manufacturers Shipments, Inventories, and Orders The United States Census Bureau s monthly non defense capital goods report from ... 500 The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index s consumer expectations See also Economic indicator References reflist refs ref name guide cite web last Stone first Chris title A Guide to ConferenceBoard Indicators url http www.investopedia.com university conferenceboard conferenceboard2.asp ... board.org data bci.cfm The ConferenceBoard s Global Business Cycle Indicators http stats.oecd.org Index.aspx?DataSetCode MEI CLI OECD leading indicator statistics http www.nytimes.com 2009 07 25 business economy 25charts.html?ref todayspaper Floyd Norris New York Times Piece Category Index numbers Category Macroeconomics Category Economic indicators macroeconomics stub pl Indeks wska nik w wyprzedzaj cych ...

The Economic Complexity Index ECI is closely related with the concept of The Product Space product space developed by Ricardo Hausmann, Cesar Hidalgo and their team at The Observatory of Economic Complexity of the Harvard Kennedy School and the MIT Media Lab. As Haussman and Hidalgo formulate it, their definition of Economic Complexity to see other refer to complexity economics tries to capture the notion of knowledge contained by every product that, according to them, is not fully explained by the traditional economic description based on capital and labor. As most of the measurements used in complexity science , the goal of this index is to explain the economic system of a country as a whole rather than the sum of its parts, based on the overall knowledge accumulated through production Thus, the ECI is an attempt to synthesize the collective knowledge of a society. In its strict mathematical definition, the ECI shows the probability of certain products to be developed by certain countries, or said in other terms, how exclusive would be a determined product for a given country. For example, Japan or Germany, with high ECI s, produce goods that are highly unlikely to be produced by several countries, while countries whith low ECI s, are more likely to have as a productive base products that many countries around the globe produce such as most of the raw materials . The ECI index was built with data from countries exports, thus counting only goods and leaving aside services. Hausmann and Hidalgo propose the concept of ECI not only as a descriptive measure, but also as a predictive tool for Economic growth . According to their models, compiled in the ref cite web url http atlas.media.mit.edu book title The Atlas of Economic Complexity author Ricardo Hausmann, Cesar Hidalgo, et. al. publisher The Observatory of Economic Complexity Harvard HKS CDI MIT Media Lab accessdate ... stub See also Complexity economics Econophysics List of countries by economic complexity References ... more details
The Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare is an economics economic indicator intended to replace the gross domestic product . Rather than simply adding together all expenditures like the gross domestic product , consumer expenditure is balanced by such factors as income distribution and cost associated with pollution and other unsustainable costs. It is similar to the genuine progress indicator . The index of sustainable economic welfare ISEW is roughly defined by the following formula. ISEW personal consumption br public non defensive expenditures br private defensive expenditures br capital formation br services from domestic labour br costs of environmental degradation br depreciation of natural capital History The index is based on the ideas presented by William Nordhaus and James Tobin in their measure of economic welfare . It was first developed in 1989 by Herman Daly and John B. Cobb . They later went on to add several other costs to the definition of ISEW. This later work formed the genuine progress indicator see sustainability measurement . See also Green national product References Nordhaus, W. and J. Tobin, 1972. Is growth obsolete?.

The British Empire Economic Conference also known as the Imperial Economic Conference or Ottawa Conference was a 1932 meeting conference of British colonies and the autonomous dominion s held to discuss the Great Depression . It was held between 21 July and 20 August in Ottawa . The conference saw the group admit the failure of the gold standard and abandon attempts to return to it. The meeting also worked to establish a zone of limited tariff s within the British Empire , but with high tariffs with the rest of the world. This was called Imperial preference or Empire Free Trade . This abandonment of open free trade led to a split in the British government. The conference was especially notable for its adoption of Keynesian economics Keynesian ideas such as lowering interest rate s, increasing the money supply , and expanding government spending .
