The Oregon Economic Forum is a series of initiatives presented by the UO College of Arts and Sciences and its Department of Economics. With the state continuing to face significant economic challenges, the Oregon Economic Forum adds a new voice to the ongoing political and business economic dialogue and affords business, finance, government, and university leaders the opportunity to explore relevant economic issues together. In addition to an annual conference in Portland, the Forum produces the University of Oregon Statewide Economic Indicator, Regional Economic Indicators, and the Central Oregon Business Index. The Forum Director, Tim Duy, also engages the community directly via presentations throughout the state and media contact.
