How Reliable is Economic Data?

Are concerns about the quality and reliability of economic data — as well as its vulnerabilities to political influences — warranted? Former BLS Commissioner Erica Groshen, who served from 2013 to 2017, Laffer Associates’ Arthur Laffer, Harvard Business School’s Alberto Cavallo, and Goldman Sachs’ Joseph Briggs discuss data quality, political influence, and the future of economic indicators with Allison Nathan on Goldman Sachs Exchanges.
