Now in its 8th year, The NABE Foundation's Economic Measurement Seminar (formerly, the Professional Development Seminar) is a convenient, cost-effective program designed to strengthen your knowledge of economic statistics and analytical techniques, enhancing your ability to add value in your workplace. Each session at the EMS pairs data producers with prominent data users to provide you with an insightful view of how data are compiled and how they are used by leading analysts. EMS attendees earn the Certificate in Economic Measurement and enjoy numerous opportunities to network with instructors and colleagues.  

The Economic Measurement Seminar features a dual-track format and includes sessions on:

• GDP and the National Accounts
• Employment
• Inflation
• Federal Reserve Beige Book
• The American Community Survey
• The Federal Reserve's balance sheet
• Flow of Funds
• and many others!

New to the EMS? Stick to Track A to learn about central statistical concepts like measuring employment, GDP and the national accounts, and inflation indexes.

EMS veteran? Focus on Track B to develop a deeper understanding of the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, industrial production, and retail sales.

EMS attendees earn the Certificate in Economic Measurement and will gain:

• a comprehensive knowledge of all major measures of U.S. economic performance including employment, prices, GDP, housing and home prices, and corporate profits;
