FORECAST ACCURACY
Ranked #1 among forecast agencies for the 15-year span of 2004-2018, Chapman’s Economic Forecast has provided unrivaled insights into the economies of the Inland Empire, California, and the U.S. Between 2004 and 2016, Chapman’s real GDP forecasts were more accurate than the forecasts issued by all 22 agencies participating in the Blue Chip Economic Indicators surveys. Chapman also ranked #1 for its forecasts of four variables that significantly influence the overall U.S. economy: real GDP, the unemployment rate, inflation (as measured by the GDP price deflator), and housing starts. Over the most recent 10-year period from 2007 through 2016, Chapman stood at #2 in both the real GDP and four-variable forecast rankings. Learn More.
