The difference have been constructed based on interview datas obtains from the University of Michigan. These data are proprietory and cannot be shared freely.Methodology: Linear regressions and time-series methods.Findings: We show that two heuristics, the peak-end rule and herding, generate biases in indexes of consumer sentiment. Both affect respondents' assessment of changes in their financial position over the past year. Conform the peak-end rule, their answers relate more to extreme detrimental monthly than to yearly changes in key financial and macro variables. These effects are stronger for more salient variables. As for herding, we document that respondents interviewed in the second round about past financial changes rely too strongly on future expectations from first-round respondents. These effects persist when we account for structural differences in sample composition or for the effect of other predictive variables. Our research shows the presence of both biases outside controlled environments and sheds new light on the relevance of sentiment indexes.

Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) Die Statistik zeigt den Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) einen etablierten Index zur Messung des Konsumklimas in den USA von September 2023 bis September 2025. Der Consumer Confidence Index ist ein etablierter konjunktureller Frühindikator, der im Rahmen des Consumer Confidence Surveys von der unabhängigen Non-Profit-Organisation "The Conference Board" aus New York erhoben wird. Zur Berechnung des Consumer Confidence Index, werden 5.000 repräsentativ ausgewählte Verbraucher zu ihren Einschätzungen und Erwartungen der wirtschaftlichen Lage befragt. Dadurch wird das Vertrauen gemessen, das die Privathaushalte in die Leistung der amerikanischen Wirtschaft haben. Der CCI weist wie sein Pendant, der University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (MCSI) eine sehr hohe Voraussagegenauigkeit zukünftiger Entwicklungen der Binnenkonjunktur auf.

The S&P 500 Date Offset project seeks to offer an alternative way of modeling financial trends from economic conditions.

Due to the rigorous tabulation process, the gap between when economic data is reported and the time which it is meant to describe can be months. Moreover, when this data is released, it is usually backdated to correspond with the date of the first day of the time period it reflects. That said, if the data causes a correction in financial markets, that change will be reflected in the data for the day of the release (and not the back dated day!).

That prompts the immediate question: would data offset to reflect investors' knowledge in the moment provide a better model for the markets than the traditionally structured data?

In addition to the S&P 500 daily close price--which is used here to represent the stock market overall--variables were chosen from the list of Leading, Lagging and Coincident Indicators as maintained by the Conference Board. Those variables and their transformations are: (M/M = Month-over-month percent change, Q/Q = Quarter-over-quarter percent change, Y/Y = Year-over-year percent change )
