At the Richmond Fed: Surveying Fifth District Businesses
Abstract: Surveys can be a fun way to poll an audience about a range of current topics. But over a longer time horizon, they can become powerful tools of economic analysis. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has conducted its regional surveys of business activity every month since 1993, making them the second longest-running regional surveys in the Federal Reserve System. (The Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing business outlook survey dates back to 1968.)
