Annualized quarterly Growth Annual Growth Growth in Real GDP in US 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% -1.0% -2.0% The swing from 3.5% in the 3 rd qtr to 1.9% in the 4 th was due largely to soybean export volatility. Without this volatility, growth would have been around 2.6% in the 3 rd and 4 th qtr. 1.4% 0.8% 2010q1 2011q1 2012q1 2013q1 2014q1 2015q1 2016q1 3.5% 1.9% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% 4.1% 1.0% 1.8% 2.8% 3.8% 3.3% 2.7% 1.8% 2.5% 1.6% 2.2% 1.7% 2.4% 2.6% 1.6% 0.0% -2.0% -4.0% -0.3% -2.8% 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 February 2017 MS University Research Center, IHL 3

US Real GDP Growth is Slowing 25.0% 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% Growth during the last expansion (1992-2007) was 3.2% Average growth between 2010-2016 period was 2.1%. We have not experienced a 3.0% growth rate since 2005 Reasons: increased interdependence of international economies, high debt levels, aging population/demographic trends. Implications: more frequent recessions. 5.0% 0.0% -5.0% -10.0% -15.0% 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Annual Growth Avg.

February 2017 MS University Research Center, IHL 5

Housing Trends People are renting rather than buying Reflects modest income growth Household formation is down During boom years young adults were buying Fueled by stronger income growth & easy mortgages After bust young adults started living with others Due in part to high student load debt & decreased job opportunities At some point household formation will again track population growth & boost housing February 2017 MS University Research Center, IHL 6

Workforce Participation Trends Participation has fallen in recent years for both the US and MS The gap between MS & US participation rate is highest among 16-19 year-olds & 45-65 year-olds MS lower participation rate due in a large part to higher incidence of disability Census shows 10% of working age population in MS is disabled & not in the work force; in the US the rate is 6%. The state s higher rate translates into over 70 thousand people. MS participation rate exceeds that of the US for 35-44 year-old women; only category where this is the case See appendix for charts reflecting the above as well as other trends February 2017 MS University Research Center, IHL 25

Recap: US Economy has momentum in 2017 Risk of recession remains low MS has struggled since the great Recession. 2016 is the 1 st time the state has experienced 2 years of consecutive growth since the recession The strong headline growth of 2016 was driven by ag volatility which will shave off growth in 2017 Growth in 2017 however will be more widespread and will continue into 2018 at a modest pace. Despite a modest forecast, revenues have disappointed in FY 2017. February 2017 MS University Research Center, IHL 45
