Plugging the gaping holes in economic data

From Reuters.

Measuring growth requires reliable information (https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/us-tax-weaponisation-launches-messy-european-fight-2025-02-04/) about an economy’s output. But the established methods (https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/uk-mistakes-city-liberalisation-growth-plan-2024-11-15/) are hopelessly out of date. In this episode of The Big View podcast, economist Diane Coyle discusses ways in which statistics could be improved (https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/how-ubs-can-soften-or-swerve-25-bln-capital-blow-2025-03-27/) , and why change is so hard.
