Monitoring Economic Activity in Real Time Using Diffusion Indices: Evidence from the Fifth District
We provide an analysis that parses out the conditions under which diffusion indices based on disaggregated information are informative about overall economic activity.

Governments use tariffs for various purposes, such as raising revenue, protecting domestic industries from foreign competition and influencing international trade patterns.
