Experts forecast sluggish economy
Recession is not expected in 1990
By Chris Siron
Kansan staff writer
The U.S. economy remains sluggish, but it should not slip into a recession in the next year, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.
The economic forecast indicated the economy would continue to grow at a modest rate, although some analysts suggested the potential for recession was greater than the Commerce Department perceived.
The government's forecast was based on 11 statistics that Commerce Department officials use to predict economic performance up to nine months in the future. These 11 statistics are called the Leading Economic Indicators.
According to these indicators, the economy grew 0.4 percent in 1989, compared to a 3.9 percent increase in 1988
Because of this slower growth, the Commerce Department's report anticipates 2.4 percent growth in 1990.
Norman Clifford, research associate at the KU Institute for Public Policy and Business Research, said his analysis of the economy was similar to that of the Commerce Department.
The institute ran a computer model of the U.S. economy that Clifford said was "reasonably accurate at predicting broad aggregate trends."
Clifford said the model predicted a 1.5 percent growth rate, after inflation, in the 1980 economy.
He said the 0.9 percent discrepancy between the KU model's prediction and the Commerce Department's was understandable because different forecast techniques returned different numbers.
The government's main economic forecasting gauge rose 0.8 percent in December. This increase came after
a 0.1 percent gain in November and a
0.3 percent decline in October.
Other indicators showing improvement in December were plant and equipment orders, stock prices, the money supply, building permits and an index measuring consumer confidence.
The biggest drag on the index last month was a decrease in the price of raw materials.
Other negatives were increasing unemployment claims and declining
The latest increase was the largest since a similar 0.8 percent advance in April.
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan testified to the Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday that the chance for a recession from 30 percent in spring 1989 to above 20 percent for the next six months.
Many observers considered this good news for inflation prospects, but it was counted as a negative in the latest report and viewed as a signal of declining demand.
Six of the indicators contributed to the 0.8 percent December gain and to the prediction for 1990, led by an increase in the number of manufacturers' unfilled orders.
Clifford said the KU model showed that the economy would start slowly in 1901 but would be stronger by the end of the year.
According to the model, the weaker economy last year does not indicate a long-term trend. But Clifford said the model could not anticipate outside factors, such as droughts, that seriously affected the economy.
He said the institute also operated a computer model for the Kansas economy. This KU-developed model, called the Kansas Econometric Model, predicted slower growth for 1990 in Kansas than in the nation.
He said he anticipated a 1 percent increase in Kansas employment and income for 1990.

Geological Survey gets grant for oil research
The Kansas Geological Survey on West Campus will receive a half-million dollar grant from the United States Department of Education. Bob Dole announced yesterday.
The world's oil deposits were formed during millions of years, when organic material was deposited in pockets with sediment, he said. Under the right temperature and pressure conditions, the organic material would be converted slowly to oil and other hydrocarbon compounds.
Dole said that the money would be used for research that could improve oil production in Kansas. The survey will match the $542,453 given by the department, which will provide more than one million dollars for the study.
"The matching money came from our existing budget," said Rex Buchanan, assistant director for public affairs at the survey. "Most of the work will come from the time of people already here. It won't take huge quantities of funds away from existing projects."
Lynn Waten, assistant scientist at the survey, said the study would examine the geologic characteristics of known reservoirs of oil and water information to help predict where new reservoirs could be found.
By studying the characteristics of the subsurface rock around existing oil deposits, Watley said, the survey's researchers hope to find how those rock layers were formed.
"We will make computer models that will simulate the process of how these layers were laid down," he said. "These models will be used to reconstruct the process and help predict where similar areas will be found."
The researchers also will look at surface and near-surface deposits of Pennsylvanian rock in southeast Kansas, Watney said. Oil deposits often are found in Pennsylvanian rock. If researchers can find enough similarities between the surface rock and the rock around oil deposits, they can use studies of the surface rock to get more details, because the surface deposits are easier to study.
The study is scheduled to take three years, Watney said. He had been working on the idea for about 10 years before the grant came through, and he expects the grant to be a big help.
"We're adding equipment and personnel to the study." he said.
