Abstract: | This stroll down memory lane highlights the changes
brought about by technology that enable economists to
process more data faster than could have been imagined
when Marcuss began her career in 1968. The challenges
of the “data jungle” remain, however. There must
be an ongoing effort to know precisely what each economic-
statistic measures, why it matters, and to whom.
NABE has been, and will continue to be, in the forefront
of this effort.
