The California Policy Review Regional Economic Outlook for the Sacramento Region was developed by Matthew Newman. The forecast contains the results of an econometric model of the six county Sacramento region’s economy and housing sector (including the counties of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba). Support for the forecast was provided by the Building Industry Association of Superior California. Assistance with model development and programming was provided by Shawn Blosser of Databasix. Tom MaCurdy, Director of the California Policy Program at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and Director of the SPHERE Institute, serves as a project advisor.
