Customer LoginsI was honored to receive the Lawrence R. Klein Blue Chip Forecasting Award October 11th at the University Club in New York City, and was privileged to have the award presented by our chairman and CEO, Jerre Stead. It is exciting and rewarding to have the hard work of the US macroeconomic forecasting team at IHS Markit be recognized for our hard work and forecasting excellence.

Additionally, this award has special meaning as Professor Klein was my mentor and doctoral dissertation advisor at U Penn. He taught me much of what I know about econometrics and forecasting, knowledge which served as the foundation of my 40-year career in economic forecasting. I am grateful to accept this award in Professor Klein’s memory.
I count myself lucky to be a member of such a professional and hardworking team. This award demonstrates the exceptional work of our economists, exemplifies the best of what our experts do every day, and illustrates the value IHS Markit delivers to its clients.
We are particularly excited as our team expands to include our new colleagues from Macroeconomic Advisers; Macroeconomic Advisers is recognized as one of the most respected forecasters of the US economy, also being awarded the Lawrence R. Klein Blue Chip Forecasting Award in 1993 and again in 1995. Bringing together our two award winning teams is exciting, and will offer the opportunity to further enhance our US economics teams, forecasting accuracy and excellence.
The event also gave me the opportunity to preview my forecast for the US economic outlook for 2018:
I will be releasing my complete Top-10 Predictions for the Global Economy in 2018 in mid-December.
