Testimonial
In the opinion littered world of economic forecasting, ECRI is Mr. Spock - deeply analytical, dispassionate, and accurate.
"eerily accurate"
...a unique set of insights that made me able to cut through a lot of the noise in the market place... the tools ECRI provide in calling decelerating (or accelerating) growth is unmatched.
[T]he Economic Cycle Research Institute [is] a private forecasting group with an excellent track record.
I find that ECRI's historical knowledge of economic cycles and data is almost as important to me as your indicators of future cycles.
ECRI [is] the most accurate forecasting institution in the world.
