BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Indiana University Kelley School of Business will present its 2023 economic forecasts for the nation, Indiana and communities across the state beginning with a presentation Nov. 10 in Bloomington.
In their forecast, members of the panel will discuss economic trends for the coming year, as well as the outlook for the financial markets. The initial presentation will begin at noon at Shreve Hall, on the campus of Ivy Tech Bloomington, 200 Daniels Way.
The Kelley School of Business has presented the annual Business Outlook forecast around the state since 1972, based on research from its Indiana Business Research Center. The center has provided crucial economic information needed by many Indiana businesses, government and nonprofit organizations since 1925. The forecast draws upon econometric models developed by the Center for Econometric Model Research and the insights of a select panel of Kelley faculty members led by Indiana Business Research Center director Carol Rogers.
“In these uncertain times, the Kelley School wants to help Hoosier businesses understand the economy and make smart decisions for the coming year,” said event moderator Phil T. Powell, associate dean of Kelley academic programs at Indianapolis, academic director of the Indiana Business Research Center, and clinical associate professor of business economics and public policy. “Many people are anxious to know what lies ahead.
“Our forecasts have always helped Hoosiers understand economic risk and plan for the next year, and helped communities remain globally competitive. Given the continued concerns over inflation, interest rates and a possible oncoming recession, our forecasts offer important insights for how to anticipate 2023.”
In addition to Powell, who will moderate the panel, and Rogers, other members of the Business Outlook Panel at Bloomington will include Kyle Anderson, clinical assistant professor of business economics and faculty chair of the Evening MBA Program, and Andrew Butters, assistant professor of business economics and public policy.
After the Bloomington event, Kelley faculty will present their forecast in eight other cities around the state. They will be joined by local panelists from other IU campuses and other universities, offering perspectives on the global, national, state, and local economies and financial markets. The tour is sponsored by the Kelley School of Business and its Indiana Business Research Center, the IU Alumni Association, IU campuses and numerous community organizations.
The tour will not include a forecast event in Indianapolis this year.
