Economic Forecasting

by Vincent Koen, Bruno Tissot, Nicolas Carnot

Economic Forecasting provides a comprehensive overview of macroeconomic forecasts. The focus is first on a large range of theories as well as empirical business cycle analysis, time series methods, macroeconomic models, medium and long-run projections, fiscal and financial forecasts, and sectoral forecasting. In addition, the book addresses the main issues surrounding the use of forecasts (accuracy, communication challenges) and their policy implications. A synthetic overview of economic data and forecasting institutions is also provided.
