This important book, prepared under the direction of Nobel Laureate Lawrence R. Klein, shows how economic forecasts are made. It explains how modern developments in information technology have made it possible to forecast frequently--at least monthly but also weekly or bi-weekly--depending upon the perceived needs of potential forecast users and also on the availability of updated material
