Abstract: This paper presents a practical method for assessing the uncertainty of long-term economic projections. Economic variables play a central role in the Congressional Budget Office’s analysis of federal spending and revenues, and the uncertainty of economic projections is a key driver of the uncertainty about the agency’s budget projections. The presented method quantifies the uncertainty of economic variables by using simulations from a multivariate statistical model in which variables are formulated as sums of unobserved stationary and nonstationary components.
