Chicago And Economics

Chicago is a thriving center of commerce, finance and consulting, all of which depend on analysis and forecasting. Chicago Association for Business Economics (CABE) promotes economic analysis, both by providing practitioners a forum to discuss their discipline, and by exposing others to economic trends affecting their lives.

Speakers and members come from many industries and specialties, so a lively diversity of opinion shapes every meeting. Speakers have included the Commissioner of the BLS on unemployment, the President of the AMA on healthcare reform, the Chief Economist of S&P on the subprime situation, and a host of internationally known macroeconomists on the U.S. and global economies.

We hold our regular meetings at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, so members also benefit from the knowledge cultivated by the Fed economists who attend CABE meetings. Fed experts also present on many topics, including the auto sector, Chicago regional economy, and banking situation.
