Eric Thompson, department chair, K.H. Nelson College Professor of Economics, and director of the Bureau of Business Research, was interviewed for a Sept. 17 KLKN story on the Federal Reserve lowering the federal interest rate. He said it might be a while before people see any economic impact. “The people getting new mortgages will be impacted by the new rates, so it affects a lot of things; it makes its way through the economy,” he said. “Although some have noted it tends to work slowly, with a bit of a lag, so changes they make now might not affect the economy until six to nine months from now.”
About us
The Bureau of Business Research (BBR) is an applied economic and business research entity of the College of Business at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Located in the Department of Economics, the BBR exists to accomplish two primary purposes. First, it provides relevant information and insightful data on economic conditions, in Nebraska, the Great Plains, and the nation as a general service to individuals and businesses in the state. Second, the BBR provides economists with practical opportunities to conduct applied economic research and trains students of economics and business in the conduct of applied research on timely economic and business topics. The BBR regularly publishes reports summarizing its sponsored research studies and publishes outlooks and analyses in the newsletter The Nebraska Economy.
