In December 1995, The Conference Board became the official source for the widely-publicized composite indexes of leading, lagging, and coincident indicators. For almost 30 years, these economic data series-often referred to as "the leading index" or "the leading indicators"-were compiled and published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Conference Board has also assumed responsibility for compiling a larger set of economic indicators that was also previously provided by the federal government in both a conventional publication, the Survey of Current Business, and in electronic format (both diskettes and on the Internet). The Board publishes this under the title Business Cycle Indicators. This has been added to Business Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
