Online Webinair by Paul Goodwin and Stephan Kolassa
Academics and practitioners working in the area of forecasting are used to applying their knowledge to variety of areas to solve many theoretical and practical problems. However, is forecasting a solution to everything, or are there any cases, when forecasters should abstain from forecasting? Paul Goodwin and Stephan Kolassa will discuss this question in the Lancaster CMAF webinar, expressing their views on the subject, debating and then answering questions of the audience.
