Methodology
What is ITR Economics' Methodology?
At ITR, our proprietary business cycle theory, rates-of-change, and leading indicators form the foundation of our services.
"One fundamental feature of our economic analysis is the way we use leading indicators. We usually compute the leading indicators' rates-of-change rather than using their raw data directly. In this way, we uncover a more complete picture of the leading indicator evidence, which helps us to draw more useful conclusions regarding the timing and directionality of business cycle trends." - Lauren Saidel-Baker, Economist.
