Hi All.
Just wondering if there is an intuitive way to figure out which item is a leading indicator or which item is a lagging? I know leading happens just before economy changes patterns, and the opposite for lagging, but it’s difficult to know which of the various items fit where.
For example, aggregate real income, industrial production, average claims for unemployment, initial claims for unemployment.
How exactly can we interpret such items and whether they fit into leading lagging or even coincident?
Thanks. A
