economic research
Analyzing financial trends
Economic research is the systematic study of how economies function—analyzing markets, policies, labor, trade, finance, and resource allocation.
It ranges from theoretical modeling to empirical analysis of real-world data.
Economists conduct research in universities, government agencies, central banks, and think tanks: The Fed's economic research suggests inflation will moderate.
Applied economic research often informs policy decisions on taxes, interest rates, and regulation.
