  • The Wall Street Journal's Economic Forecasting Survey has helped readers better understand the direction of the U.S. economy by publishing consensus forecasts from a panel of academic, business and financial economists.

The article from MSN Money discusses the Wall Street Journal Economic Forecasting Survey, which is a comprehensive quarterly survey that aggregates economic forecasts from a panel of approximately 70 economists from various sectors including academia, finance, and business. This survey provides insights into future economic conditions by predicting key indicators like GDP growth, unemployment rates, inflation, and interest rates. It serves as a valuable tool for policymakers, investors, and businesses to gauge economic trends and make informed decisions. The survey's methodology involves collecting individual forecasts, which are then compiled into a median forecast to represent the collective expectation of the economic outlook. The results are published in The Wall Street Journal, offering a snapshot of economic expectations and often influencing market sentiments and economic policy discussions.
