This January, BHI surveyed by mail a select group of Massachusetts taxpayers consisting of Republicans, conservative Democrats and libertarians for their opinions on a variety of economic and public policy issues affecting citizens in the Commonwealth.
This informal survey was part of BHI’s State of the Household Project, which also includes scientific polling of Massachusetts residents. We received close to 200 responses.
The Economy in ‘99: Three Perspectives
When we asked for their perceptions about the economy, our respondents indicated they were still uncertain about the economic prospects internationally. However, when it came to the national and Massachusetts economies, more than half indicated confidence that these economies will remain the same throughout the year. Among the global, national and Massachusetts economies, respondents indicated the most confidence in Massachusetts.
