Coincident Economic Indicators (CEI) for the New York-New Jersey Region

Our Indexes of Coincident Economic Indicators (CEI) for August show economic activity rising at a robust pace in New York State, and at a moderate pace in New York City and New Jersey.

Background
A coincident index is a single summary statistic that tracks the current state of the economy. The index is computed from a number of data series that move systematically with overall economic conditions. A rise in the index indicates an expansion of economic activity and a decline in the index indicates a contraction in economic activity. Each of the regional indexes is computed using data on employment, real earnings, the unemployment rate and average weekly hours worked in manufacturing. The estimated New York State, New York City, and New Jersey Coincident Indexes are then calibrated to match the mean and standard deviation of their respective real earnings series.
