Economic Forecasts

The Bay Area Council Economic Institute has partnered with Beacon Economics to present a series of Bay Area Regional Forecast Conferences held in Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose. The forecast series provides an annual economic outlook at the national, state and local levels, with in-depth analysis on each of the selected sub-regions. A particular focus of this year's forecast is the expected impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis.
