April-May 1954, PP- 13-19.

In this Moore describes two approaches to economic forecasting which are currently being investigated by the National Bureau of Economic Research. One is based on an exhaustive investigation of timing relations among economic series, for the purpose of identifying series vhich in their cyclical turns usually lead, coincide with, or lag general cyclical swings. The other involves "diffusion indexes," or proportions of selected time series that are expanding.
