Investigating the opportunities and challenges brought about by ‘Big Data’, it examines how data can be used for forecasting by economists and analysts in international organisations as well as private practice. Utilising econometric techniques, it helps quantify the uncertainties regarding the future.The insightful Handbook is an excellent resource for scholars of advanced macroeconomic forecasting, as well as those requiring a better understanding of econometrics, statistics, and modelling approaches.
