Testimonial
ECRI [is] the most accurate forecasting institution in the world.
[T]he Economic Cycle Research Institute [is] a private forecasting group with an excellent track record.
Over the last 15 years, [ECRI] has gotten all of its recession calls right, while issuing no false alarms. Oct. 2011
I have to pay attention to those people and indicators that have pointed in the right direction - even when they've gone against the crowd (and my opinion at the time). One such outfit is the Economic Cycle Research Institute, whose various leading indicators actually have done just that - lead where things were headed.
Your work stands alone in the industry. I wholeheartedly value and endorse your service!
ECRI can justify a certain smugness now that business cycles are back in fashion. The institute called the last two recessions and the current recovery months ahead of the pack.
