Special Section on "Forecasting Issues in Developing Economies" - International Journal of Forecasting
Call For Papers

Deadline for Submission: July 17, 2017

Following the 21st IIF workshop (http://unassumingeconomist.com/2017/04/workshop-on-forecasting-issues-in-developing-economies) in Washington, D.C., we are planning a special section on "Forecasting Issues in Developing Economies" in the International Journal of Forecasting. This is an important topic where little has been written due to data limitations and other challenges. We will consider selected papers from the workshop and new submissions following this open call. Relevant topics include forecasts of macro variables; role of financial variables; energy demand; uncertainty associated with economic forecasting, among others. Papers that deal with methodological issues of relevance to developing economies are also welcome.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: All papers will be subject to the standard refereeing process of the journal. Those interested in submitting a paper should email it to Prakash Loungani (ploungani@imf.org) by July 17, 2017.

GUEST EDITORS:
Gloria Gonzalez-Rivera, University of California, Riverside, gloria.gonzalez@ucr.edu
