The Ombudsman: Research on Forecasting: A Quarter-Century Review, 1960--1984

Interfaces, 1986, vol. 16, issue 1, 89-109

Abstract: Before 1960, little empirical research was done on forecasting methods. Since then, the literature has grown rapidly, especially in the area of judgmental forecasting. This research supports and adds to the forecasting guidelines proposed before 1960, such as the value of combining forecasts. New findings have led to significant gains in our ability to forecast and to help people to use forecasts.
