The Macro Economy: Data and Models
April 13-15, 2009

Are you long on theory and short on practice? Do you need to brush up on your applied skills? Join us at the 2009 NABE Professional Development Seminar.
In just two days, you will take away knowledge and skills you can use on your first day back in the office!
You'll be prepared to...
- Find the correct economic data more efficiently by knowing what to look for and where to find it. Evaluate the data by knowing what it is -- and what it's not.
- Contact the agency experts who can explain the data.
- Employ the techniques used by other professionals, taught here through "case studies"
You'll connect with instructors and other attendees who will become valuable resources...including those who:
- Provide data--government agencies, Federal Reserve Board, and private sector professionals
- Use data -- economists, planners, analysts, and researchers
- Offer special services -- like customized data, models, and economic studies
