About UsIf it’s not right, don’t do it. If it’s not true, don’t say it.Marcus Aurelius Founded less than four years ago, Beacon Economics quickly entered the spotlight as one of the earliest and most adamant predictors of the subprime housing market meltdown – and as one of a handful of organizations to stand against the tide and correctly calculate the depth and breadth of the global financial and economic crisis that followed. While our forecasts have been called “eerily accurate” and have helped to establish us as one of California’s most reputable economic research firms, there are no crystal balls here - or anywhere. We called it correctly for an uncomplicated but compelling reason: good economics. It is the foundation of what we do. One of Beacon's founding principals said of the economic turmoil that began in 2007, “it was there to see for anyone who chose to look.” Our promise to our clients is that our eyes will always be wide open. Beacon’s commitment to analytical excellence can be traced to our two founding principals, both PhD level economists trained at world-class academic institutions. Their passion for objectivity and scientific rigor feed our firm’s dedication to delivering best-of-class economic research based on proven methodologies and sophisticated data processing. Truly, while good analysis can revolutionize an industry or grow a business, bad analysis can bring one down. That is why the academic training and credentials of our principals and other experts set us apart from most economic consulting firms. Unlike many firms, Beacon Economics is led by, and has on staff, PhD economists – not MBA’s or urban or city planners calling themselves economists. We don’t wear rose-tinted glasses but will deliver the most penetrating and thorough analysis we are capable of providing – always with the goal of equipping our clients with honest, realistic information essential for survival and success.
