Leading Economic Indicators
Since November 2003, the Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast report has included analysis based on the Oregon Index of Leading Economic Indicators (OILI).  The OILI applies the Conference Board’s methodology for the U.S. National Leading Index to Oregon-specific components.  While it does not measure the magnitude of this economic activity, the Index can identify the direction of future trends.
