Abstract: A survey was conducted over 1987-88 to obtain information on the extent to which regional economists were engaged in measuring and forecasting local economic activity. A total of 250 members of the Association for University Business and Economic Research and the Southern Regional Science Association were surveyed. The intended specific objectives of this paper are twofold. First, some of the tools which can be used to measure and forecast local economic activity will be presented. Second, some of the primary obstacles encountered in this pursuit will be discussed. The survey results are briefly reported and used as the basis in meeting the intended objectives. The literature review at the end of this paper is also directed to this end.
