Our special studies don't shy from controversial topics related to the economic outlook. We give clients a balanced perspective of risks on both sides of the mainstream view.

We report on risk factors such as budget deficits, trade deficits, housing, interest rates, or the high price of oil. We help our clients understand the arguments on both sides of any economic debate.

Other studies report on critical economic trends. One such study on the outlook for the U.S. residential housing market helped retailers plan inventories of home goods and auto companies gauge how car purchases relate to rising home equity values.

We deliver clear implications of likely scenarios so you can prepare for changes in the short-term economic outlook.
