    Commercial Data Quality Issues

    Thursday April 27, 2023

    2:00-3:30 PM EDT; 1:00-2:30 PM CDT; 12:00-1:30 PM MDT; 11:00 AM-12:30 PM PDT

    How do we decide which commercial sources to acquire? How can we inform our researchers of challenges with the data?  Todd Hines (Stanford University) and Grace Liu (West Chester University) will share their expert findings on the world of expensive business & financial data. Patrick McLaughlin will discuss how the USDA uses commercial data to help inform government decisions. Stephanie Tulley will explain how she helps her researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland who play a key role in monetary policy and help monitor regional economic conditions.
