Mark Twain Institute (MTI)

Here is another valuable resource if you're into economic stats. The MTI sponsors the Service Industry Trend Institute, which I described in my earlier post today.

The Mark Twain Institute is a foundation dedicated to improving the quality of economic statistics that measure the performance and direction of the global economy. The Institute was formed in 1997 to respond to the imperative need to improve those statistics by working with government statistical agencies and other organizations that measure principally the U.S. economy, particularly in the area of trade and, within that, particularly trade in services.
