From NABE economic policy survey:
The survey asked panelists about their level of concern (if any) regarding the potential decline in the quality and reliability of U.S. government economic statistics over the next few years. On a 1-to-10 scale—with 1 being least concerned and 10 being most concerned—the average response is 7.5, indicating that the majority of economists is worried about the outlook for the quality of government economic data.
Off topic – investors turning from indebted developed markets to less-indebted emerging markets:

The writing is a bit of a mess, rambling and unfocused, but the gist seems to be that bad policy in developed markets is driving investment flows to EMs, which have been starved into managing debt well. The U.S. get special mention, but high debt levels and poor growth across the DM investment universe is pointed out. So is the disinflationary effect of dollar weakness for EMs. Funny how financial journalists notice good effects from whatever the dollar is doing when things are going well, bad effects when going poorly. Both types of effect are always at work – dollar extremes always create strains, no matter the direction.
Anyhow, net EM inflows for the first time in a long time. Always ends the same way, but that doesn’t actually mean EM inflows are bad. The assertion is that bad rich-country behavior is the driver, which is not a happy thing. I don’t know if that’s demonstrably true.
