Forecasting in the social and natural sciences.

The 14 papers in the volume are arranged in sections that: 1) describe the organizational and political context of applied forecasting; 2) review the state-of-the-art for many forecasting models and methods; and 3) discuss issues of predictability, the implications of forecast errors, and model construction, linkage and verification. Most of the aspects covered are in the field of social phenomena, eg: econometrics, aggregate economic-demographic models, population projects, health status, and technological innovation and diffusion. The papers are abstracted separately with the original journal citations. -M.A.Bass
