Center Overview
The Rutgers Economic Advisory Service (R/ECON™) was established in 1992 within the Center for Urban Policy Research (CUPR) to provide private-sector and government leaders with a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing the New Jersey economy. These include an econometric forecasting model and an input-output model. The R/ECON™ staff continually analyzes the New Jersey economy using up-to-date forecasting tools that are tailored to the needs of clients and organizations working in the state. R/ECON™ is committed to providing unbiased, quality forecasting services to the state's diverse business community and government sector. R/ECON™ offers subscribers two long-term and two short-term economic forecasts of New Jersey each year, a monthly index of leading economic indicators for New Jersey, use of an input-output model, semiannual conferences, and two days of consulting services. Specialized consulting services are available to subscribers and others on a fee-for-service basis.
