	Overview
	Please Join the UCLA Anderson Forecast as we release our first economic outlook for 2010. With the supply chains of modern economies extending over long distances and across international borders, the speedy and efficient movement of goods by managers along these long supply chains is an essential prerequisite for economic growth. At this event, we will be launching the Ceridian/UCLA Pulse of Commerce, a new monthly indicator of the movement of goods along the supply chain. By recording diesel fuel purchases at truck stops around the US, a Ceridian database records truck traffic on all the major highways in the United States, around cities and at ports and airports, measuring the movement of goods on an hour-by-hour basis. There is nothing comparable out there. It's real data (not surveys); it's virtually instantaneous (not delayed for a month of more); it is detailed geographically (regional modeling relies mostly on employment data); it is extremely important (goods have to be moved for an economy to grow). The UCLA Anderson Forecast Quarterly Conference in March 2010 will roll out the latest Anderson Forecast and address these issues.

	Edward Leamer, Director, UCLA Anderson Forecast
	I. National, State, Regional Forecasts
	Were problems in housing in 2006 foreshadowed by declines in trucking on the routes connecting to the timber regions of the Northwest? Was weakness in retail sales in the first half of 2008 evident on the Interstates linking California with the East? When did the collapse in global trade in the second half of 2008 affect truck traffic at California ports and airports and at the border with Mexico? When and where in 2009 did the economic recovery first show up on California roads? Which roads are the ones to watch to see the future of the California economy?

	Does California have adequate capacity on our roads, at our ports and airports? Do we manage what we have efficiently?

What should California do to its transportation infrastructure to build a solid foundation for future growth and prosperity?
