In this Moore describes two approaches to economic forecasting which are currently being investigated by the
National Bureau of Economic Research. One is
based on an exhaustive investigation of timing relations
among economic series, for the purpose of identifying
series vhich in their cyclical turns usually lead, coincide with, or lag general cyclical swings. The other
involves "diffusion indexes," or proportions of selected
time series that are expanding.
