没开玩笑。我们先用数据来说话：

根据京东大数据研究院提供的近三年（2016-2018年）以来辽宁男士内裤销量数据素材分析，辽宁经济呈不断回暖趋势。

Sales of men’s underwear in Liaoning has risen for the last three years, as consumers pay more attention to the quality and color variety of the clothes, according to recent information released by JD Big Data Research Institute. Source: Globaltimes.cn

近三年，辽宁男子内裤销售量不断增加，并且从面料、颜色、品牌的消费数据分析，辽宁男性逐渐注重品质，注重面料舒适度和颜色的多样性。

Sales of men’s underwear across the province rose 42 percent in 2017 over the previous year while the year-on-year increase stood at 32 percent to date in 2018, the industrial data showed. The provincial year-on-year sales increase in 2018 grew even faster than that of other provinces. Source: Globaltimes.cn

从上图数据可以看出，2017年全省男士内衣销量同比增长42%，2018年同比增长32%。2018年全省销售同比增长更快，超过全国平均同比速度。

数据不但告诉我们辽宁省的经济在回暖，还借机宣传了一波辽宁男人的形象：从内裤型号数据分析，辽宁男士内裤以L（25%）、XL（25%）为主，其次是XXL（23%）、XXXL（20%），看出辽宁男子体型较均等，M和XXXXL等特小、超大号销量占比较小。

emmmm，可以说是非常地详尽真实了。

According to the institute, underwear made of cotton is most welcomed, accounting for 48 percent of total shorts sales, and consumers in Liaoning prefer such brands as NanJiren, Septwolves and Playboy, marking an improvement from their previous consumption. Source: Globaltimes.cn

根据数据显示在面料、品牌的选择方面，辽宁用户更喜欢棉质的内裤，销量占比48%，莫代尔的面料也有一定市场；最受欢迎的男士内裤品牌是，南极人、七匹狼、花花公子、浪莎和恒源祥，无论从品牌还是面料的选择上，都相较之前消费需求有所提升。

看到这里有没有感叹世界真奇妙，连一条内裤都能预测经济趋势，而且还有一个专有名词叫“男士内裤指数”(Men’s Underware Index)，而且而且再提到这个词的提出者，你们可能会更震惊，他就是那个任职时间最长的前美联储主席格林斯潘(Alan Greenspan)（从1987年到2006年）。

The Men’s Underwear Index, which was proposed by former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, purports to measure how well an economy is doing based on the sales of men’s underwear. It suggests that declines in the sales of men’s underwear indicate a worsening state of the economy, while upswings in underwear sales predict an improving economy. Source: Globaltimes.cn

自打这词一出世，老格就将之奉为圭臬，差不多是他最信赖的经济指标之一了。指标指出当经济不好时，男士们就会迟些再买新内裤，从而令内裤销量下滑，等销售额再升时，就是经济开始回暖了。

老格强调，这个指标用来评估经济是否开始复苏最为有效。这么看来，原来美国以前加不加息，全都是一条男人底裤说了算啊。

不过事实也的确如此。

Economy in the three provinces in Northeast China has witnessed a recovery in recent years. Liaoning reported a turnaround to growth of 4.2 percent in 2017. Economic growth of Liaoning Province is 5.6 percent in the first half of 2018, and 5.4 percent in the third quarter. Source: Globaltimes.cn

东北三省的经济近年来逐渐复苏。辽宁省2017年经济增长4.2%，2018年上半年增长5.6%，第三季度增长则是5.4%。
