    Note also that this index is not a direct measure of production, but an index based on a number of production-related survey questions.

      NEW YORK/LONDON/BEIJING — Global manufacturing ended 2013 on a strong note, as major exporters like the United States, Japan and Germany all saw demand pick up, although China’s performance remained modest, surveys showed on Thursday.

    • The C-Suite economic barometer: In good times CEOs get fired, in bad they’re kept on

      Here’s a counterintuitive notion that’s gaining currency among a growing number of research peddlers: the more chief executives who lose their jobs, the better it is for everyone else in the economy.
