 Forecasts for activity rate on labour market in Romania using econometric modelsHOLISTICA Journal of Business and Public Administration, 2015, vol. 6, issue 1, 89-101 Abstract: The main objective of this study is related to the econometric modelling of the activity rate in Romania and the construction of prognoses. A dynamic panel data model with quarterly data, covering the period from Q1:1996-Q4:2013, was constructed. The values were registered for the 4 Romanian macroregions. Predictions for 2011-2013 at national level were obtained by aggregation. In parallel, an autoregressive model of order 1 and a vectorial-autoregressive mdel were built for forecasting. In the first period, 99.98% of the activity rate variation is due to this variable, while in the second period, the average number of retired people influences the activity rate in proportion of 4.129%. The influence of number of retired people grows in time, arriving to 9.501% in the 10th period. All the accuracy indicators showed that the naive forecasts were more accurate than the other prediction based on VAR and dynamic panel model on the horizon 2011-2013.
