Economic Forecast

As Chapman University’s forecasting has consistently outperformed agencies and institutions participating in the Blue Chip Economic Indicators Survey, the university’s Economic Forecasts are must-see events. The insights from each presentation, gathered by Chapman’s A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research, have helped guide and fortify Southern California’s business communities for more than forty years.

In 2020, the two forecast conference events adopted a virtual format, reaching nearly 10,000 viewers across the globe. A new important metric was unveiled in December 2020, the Innovation Indicator, a scorecard that ranks regional economic growth based on success in creating jobs and expanding the innovation sector industry. This industry will again be reviewed and analyzed along with the vaccine’s rollout and other national issues influencing the economy. You won’t want to miss the forecasts in 2021.
