Crisis Forecasting and Crisis: A Critical Examination of the Literature.

Abstract

Crisis research, forecasting research, and crisis forecasting. After the literature in each area was examined, critical evaluation was conducted with the following conclusions:---(a) crisis research has been of use to applied crisis forecasting by providing useful generalizations about behavior; (b) forecasting methods are well suited to crisis forecasting data although much work needs to be done before sophisticated techniques such as econometrics and subjective methods can be used; and (c) crisis forecasting research has been specific in country focus and conducted in the context of specific time frames and is thus useful to future applied crisis forecasting.
