You don't need a chief economist for that. Any half decent marketing person will be looking at the economic, regulatory, demographic and other market trends that are likely to effect future business in order to make decisions about which markets to pursue, etc.. This is fundamental to the business - it's what the management should be doing all the time, not something you leave to someone with the job title 'economist'. - HJ Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:27:49 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/economics/power-lunch-with-andrew-sentance-200804161227/#comment-31 HJ – They basically advise the business on the state of the economy and on economic trends that will affect the company. - Blog Administrator Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:00:46 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/economics/power-lunch-with-andrew-sentance-200804161227/#comment-29 Eamonn, Could you explain briefly what company chief economists (or indeed any other economists employed by companies) actually do? - HJ Wed, 16 Apr 2008 09:07:25 +0100
