  1. Welcome to Demographics School presented by Rodney Johnson President, HS Dent

  2. HS Dent Independent Economic Research Company Forecast economic change based on three key tools: 1. Demographics and demographic trends 2. Predictable consumer spending patterns, and 3. Technological innovation acceptance rates

  3. Forecasting Doesn’t Always Work Out I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. - Thomas J. Watson, 1943, Chairman of the Board of IBM We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. - Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962 With over 50 foreign cars already on sale here, the Japanese auto industry isn't likely to carve out a big slice of the U.S. market. -Business Week, 1958

  4. Especially In Finance We’re looking for home sales to turn upward before mid-2008, on a national average basis, and we expect recoveries in housing starts and construction spending to commence before the end of the year. The Longer-Term Housing Outlook Is Excellent! David F. Seiders, NAHB Chief Economist, 1/9/08 Stocks reached a “selling climax” on July 15 (2008), which will be seen as the bottom for the current market.”BusinessWeek, August 2008 Jeremy Siegel — the famous Wharton School professor

  5. What You Will Learn Background of economics The sources of our research The statistics involved (good and bad) What the Average American looks like Three main tools of HS Dent research – demographics, predictable spending patterns, technology innovation and acceptance What lies ahead

  6. What You Will Be Able To Do Describe how modern, industrialized economies work See the next economic “season” Estimate changes to businesses, investors, and even countries Highlight the opportunities and risks in the next 3, 5,10 and 20 years

  7. Economics Malthusian Economics Classical Economics Keynesian Economics Austrian School

  8. Malthusian Economics Scarcity Current technology Population (crowd-out)

  9. Classical Economics Input of Labor All inputs are incremental Always moving toward full employment by shifting inputs to where needed

  10. Keynesian Circle

  11. Keynes’ Animal Spirits The colorful name that Keynes gave to one of the essential ingredients of economic prosperity: confidence. According to Keynes, animal spirits are a particular sort of confidence, "naive optimism". He meant this in the sense that, for entrepreneurs in particular, "the thought of ultimate loss which often overtakes pioneers, as experience undoubtedly tells us and them, is put aside as a healthy man puts aside the expectation of death". Where these animal spirits come from is something of a mystery. Certainly, attempts by politicians and others to talk up confidence by making optimistic noises about economic prospects have rarely done much good. Economist.com

  12. Basics of Hayek(Austrian School) Free markets allow best allocation of resources Government intervention (interest rates and other monetary policy ) causes mal-investment Those mal-investments must be worked out of system over time It is the BOOM that should scare you!
