Massachusetts Benchmarks

Massachusetts Benchmarks is a project of the University of Massachusetts in cooperation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and is managed by the UMass Donahue Institute.

The Benchmarks initiative, presently consisting of a quarterly journal and this Web page, will soon expand to offer conferences and seminars.The journal is a forum for researchers from the University of Massachusetts system, other universities and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to provide economic commentary and analysis to professionals who may not be in the field of economics.

Through this initiative, the University seeks to provide decision makers, opinion leaders and economic development practitioners across Massachusetts with information and relevant analysis about the health of the state economy, its performance over time and its prospects for future growth.
