Testimonial

ECRI is perhaps the only organisation to give advance warning of each of the past three recessions; just as impressive, it has never issued a false alarm.
- The Economist
Over the last 15 years, [ECRI] has gotten all of its recession calls right, while issuing no false alarms.
- The New York Times
ECRI [is] the most accurate forecasting institution in the world.
- Sydney Morning Herald
No one speaks with more authority about the economy's turning points.
- Fortune Magazine
[T]he Economic Cycle Research Institute [is] a private forecasting group with an excellent track record.
- The New York Times
(ECRI’s) forecast of the [Great] recession helped us anticipate reduced merchandise sales; we proactively revised our inventory forecasts down months ago, and that has helped to greatly minimize the inventory swell and need for markdowns.
