Reviews for Economic Forecasting
This book is an excellent and valuable one on economic forecasting for academics as well as practitioners. Specifically, the decision-theoretical approach employed by the book successfully conveys a new insight into the forecasting literature by making a clear connection between forecasting and decision-making. In addition, the book's comprehensive arguments with numerous examples have no equal in other forecasting books.
