Here at The Liscio Report we do all our own research and writing, do not manage other people's money or receive any form of commission, and are beholden to no one but our subscribers and ourselves. We bring fresh perspectives to the data we analyze and are confident taking positions contrary to consensus when our proprietary data tells us to do so. Although our report is under press embargo until after the relevant data are released, our insights are regularly picked up in Barron's, CNBC, and other publications. Additionally, we make occasional television appearances (most recently on CNBC and Bill Moyers), and were ranked by MSN Money in the top five of their annual "Best of the Best" Awards.

Philippa Dunne and Douglas Henwood were John Liscio's closest associates and, since John's untimely death in 2000, are honored to be carrying on the research techniques he pioneered when he established The Liscio Report on the international scene in 1992.

Philippa Dunne

Philippa Dunne was hired by John Liscio in 1996 to work on special projects, and in 1997 began full-time work as the "research department," specifically to develop her own set of states for our monthly surveys of state tax collections and to handle the burgeoning demands of The Liscio Report.

She graduated from University of California and has a Master's Degree from Wesleyan University. A musician by training, in previous lives she has performed widely and taught at a number of colleges and private institutions, done research and writing for the Office of Ray and Charles Eames in California and for the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and, true to her name, worked in stables exercising steeplechasers. She lives in New York with her husband and son.

Douglas Henwood

While working toward his PhD in English at the University of Virginia, Doug returned to his earlier interest, the dismal science, and by the mid-1980s was regularly writing about the world economy with special attention to finance and the labor markets.

He caught the attention of John Liscio and as the "resident wise man" he crunched stats and analyzed them for John from the report's very first days. A widely recognized economic analyst, Doug has given talks at venues all over the U.S. and abroad as well. He's also frequently quoted or cited in the media, including newspapers ranging from The Asia Times to the New York Times to the Times of London.
