General Conference Info

The 27th Annual International Symposium on Forecasting will be held on June 24-27, 2007 at the Marriott Marquis Times Square, New York City.  Papers on all aspects of forecasting are welcome.  The objectives of the symposium are to help disseminate knowledge about new developments in statistical and judgmental forecasting methods and to promote discussion about forecasting among academicians and practitioners. The organizers welcome the attendance of delegates from diverse fields, including Economics, Finance, Business, Public Policy, Statistics, Climate and Environment, Information Systems, Psychology, Demography, Political Science and Energy. 

The conference will include featured talks by internationally acclaimed speakers Robert Engle, Charles Manski, M. Hashem Pesaran, Kevin Trenberth, J. Scott Armstrong, Robert Fildes, Paul Goodwin, David Hendry, Stephen Penman, Allan Timmermann, Victor Zarnowitz and Arnold Zellner. Kajal Lahiri and Terrance Kinal are the General Chair and Program Chair of the conference, respectively.

No full papers will be submitted or published, only abstracts, which will be peer reviewd. Abstract may be submitted online, at the link provided above. 

The deadline for electronic submission of abstracts is March 2, 2007.
