项目摘要

Government economic statistics are Janus-faced. On the one hand, they have an extensive rolein modern governance in which they are treated as apolitical, empirical facts: Statistics are used to guide policy, and to allocate or adjust resources automatically. In these roles, the non-partisan character of official statistics is essential. On the other hand, methodological decisions must be guided by a clear set of measurement goals; yet, every major economic statistic has many such possible goals, and even economists frequently argue about the proper objectives. However, insofar as these statistics are simultaneously used to guide, evaluate, or enact policies, then a decision about measurement goals is defacto a decision about the policy objectives for the relevant programs. These two competing aspects of economic statistics pose a challenge: how can official statistics be subject to democratic oversight and control while retaining their non-partisan character and serving as a bulwark against the abuse of political power? This project aims to explore and resolve this challenge.This project aims to transform the way Americans construct and understand economic statistics, a goal that requires both theoretical analysis and broader outreach. Funding for the project will support the design of a new undergraduate course on the conceptual foundations of economic statistics that will become the basis for a text book targeted toward undergraduates, policymakers, and journalists. Second, funding will support the construction of a website on price indexes for these audiences that will explain basic conceptual issues, digest recent methodological research, and provide an ongoing, non-partisan commentary about policy issues connected with these statistics. This site will be a pilot program for a future, expanded version that will cover all major macroeconomic statistics.
政府的经济统计数字是两面的。一方面,它们在现代治理中扮演着广泛的角色,在现代治理中,它们被视为非政治性的经验事实:统计数据被用来指导政策,并自动分配或调整资源。在这些作用中,官方统计的无党派性质至关重要。另一方面,方法论的决定必须以一套明确的计量目标为指导;然而,每一个主要的经济统计都有许多这样的可能目标,甚至经济学家也经常争论适当的目标。然而,只要这些统计数据同时用于指导、评估或制定政策,那么关于测量目标的决策实际上就是关于相关计划的政策目标的决策。经济统计的这两个相互竞争的方面构成了一个挑战:官方统计如何能够接受民主监督和控制,同时保持其无党派性质,并作为防止滥用政治权力的堡垒?该项目旨在探索和解决这一挑战。该项目旨在改变美国人构建和理解经济统计的方式,这一目标需要理论分析和更广泛的推广。该项目的资金将支持设计一门新的本科课程,该课程将成为针对本科生,政策制定者和记者的教科书的基础。第二,资金将用于为这些受众建立一个价格指数网站,解释基本概念问题,消化最近的方法研究,并就与这些统计数据有关的政策问题提供持续的、无党派的评论。该网站将是一个试点项目,今后将扩大版本,涵盖所有主要的宏观经济统计数据。
