** How Better Statistics Lead To Better Policy In A Changing World ([link removed])

------------------------------------------------------------

Join the Progressive Policy Institute’s Innovation Frontier Project for a virtual conference for policymakers, staffers and journalists titled “How Better Statistics Lead to Better Policy in a Changing World”.

Our economy is becoming increasingly global and digital, but economic statistics are slow to adapt to this new reality. In many ways policymakers are flying blind: Why don't we have the data we need on the digital economy, the price and value of cutting-edge medical treatments, and global supply chains and inflation? Innovation is everywhere except in the economic statistics.

The Innovation Frontier Project has assembled a panel of leading experts who will address the need for new statistics in the key areas of the digital economy; healthcare; and supply chains. They will show how a relatively small investment in improving our data can avoid huge policy mistakes.

WHAT: Virtual conference for policymakers, staffers, and journalists
WHEN: Friday, December 3; 11:00am-2:00pm ET; Zoom
PURPOSE: This conference brings together leading experts to show how our economic statistics need to be improved to avoid policy mistakes in the digital and global economy.

Michael Mandel, Vice President and Chief Economist, PPI (moderator)
