Research direction

Start with the Leading indicators and correlated factors section in business_cycle.html and inspect Figure 3.10 at the linked #csicpi anchor. Review the existing explanations and data sources, then determine the needed figure split and US credit-level data. Done means the consumer sentiment, CPI, production, and credit-level relationships are explained and the relevant figures are updated.

Description

reading-group-2024

Section: Leading indicators and correlated factors

Consumer Sentiment

  • what is consumption?
  • what is the consumer sentiment index measuring?
  • What is cpi?

Figure 3.10 -- the focus here is on consumer sentiment so we can update the figure to just show consumer sentiment (and remove CPI), then take a look at drivers of consumer sentiment in relation to CPI, essentially splitting this graph into two with some explanaions.

Production

How is production linked to business cycles?

Credit Levels:

what is it and how would it link to business cycles
Can we also find data on the US and show that as well.
