About MassBenchmarks

MassBenchmarks project is an initiative of the University of Massachusetts Amherst Donahue Institute and is managed and staffed by the Institute’s Economic & Public Policy Research group. MassBenchmarks mobilizes economic experts within the University of Massachusetts system and from other public and private research institutions around the state, including the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Northeastern University, Tufts University, and others to produce and distribute relevant assessments of the Massachusetts economy through reports, commentary, and analysis. These assessments take the form of the MassBenchmarks journal and a series of free-standing research bulletins and leading indices to assess the Massachusetts economy.
