E-raamat: Forecasting: An Essential Introduction

As an introduction to forecasting for those interested in how economists typically think about forecasting, this book is excellent. Although framed as a non-technical introduction to forecasting, even experienced forecasters and econometricians would find joy in reading it.Leif Anders Thorsrud, Economic Record
