** 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; health care; 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.
